Pros

Some good teams. Very few

Cons

Here’s a cleaned-up, professional version of your Glassdoor review in bullet points without the harsh language: ⸻ Cons • Rigid 5-day work-from-office policy with strict 9-hour check-in requirements. Falling short can result in automatic leave deductions. • Lack of proper mentoring, feedback, and PR (peer review) culture. Seniors are often not helpful in guiding junior employees. • Performance review process feels unfair – promotions are rare, ratings are inconsistent, and some managers give biased reviews only to their direct reports. • Leadership often relies on ratings rather than actual contributions, which can lead to dissatisfaction and attrition. • High leadership turnover and frequent architectural changes (every 6 months or so) disrupt long-term projects. After years of effort, some teams still struggle to deliver stable production results. • The operations team lacks technical depth, even on basic concepts, and there is little willingness to improve. • Hiring focus on Tier-2 colleges due to retention issues; Tier-1 graduates often leave within a year. • Workload distribution is highly uneven – some teams have little to no work but are forced to sit idle for hours, while others are overloaded and work Used chatgpt to write better

Pros

- worked here with some of the most talented people I've met in the city - NY office is beautiful, fantastic view - company events are nice - support for international workers with I, H1B, O1 visas and green card applications

Cons

- extremely hard to get a raise - morale has been tanking because of mass layoffs - everything has to go through the CEO, who takes a very long time to sign off on anything
