Pros

Used to be lots of friendly people with many years of experience and tribal knowledge to lean on for help.

Cons

For more than 10 years I loved my job, and swore I would never leave voluntarily. So getting laid off and having to train my replacement in India really sucked. Word is offshore team has not been doing well, through no fault of their own. Doesn't seem to be any accountability at the top for poor planning and execution. The optics of reducing cost by moving jobs to India, while also continuing to acquire companies one or more times per year, and spending hundreds of millions on the India office, looks really bad. How could this not ruin morale for any remaining US employees? And what about the customers?

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s clear you cared deeply about your role, your colleagues, and the company. We understand that workforce changes, especially those involving global shifts, can be incredibly difficult. While our goal is to position the business for long-term success and growth, we recognize that how these transitions are handled — for both people and teams — matters just as much. We always try to approach any employee impacts with compassion, empathy and transparency. With great support from our global teams, which all have knowledge of our products, we have been very successful with ramping up our product engineering teams in India. The teams have done a fantastic job of defining and delivering on our roadmap and initiatives. Our ELT leaders strive to create a culture of openness and ability to ask questions via our “Ask Us Anything” sessions. We hope these sessions help to provide a better understanding around decisions being made and why. Thank you again for your candor and for the years you spent helping build this company. We wish you nothing but the best in your next chapter.

Pros

The team culture was incredible. Managers were very open and encouraging to explore new technologies and development processes. It was a very collaborative culture where engineers would often collaborate on solutions to complex problems which was especially nice given the displacement between all of the remote members of the team.

Cons

Outside of the team level, organization prioritization struggled. One day the stated priority might be one thing then the following day it would suddenly change. I would describe it as 'chasing a shiny object' instead of a thought out vision for what the project should be when it's complete.
