Pros

Pros are stable (so I thought) employment and steady work. Very smart CEO and technology is very advanced.

Cons

Lack of even a single African American in Management since company inception, if I say more it will be easy to know who I am so suffice it to say I am very unhappy .No promotion to good loyal employees, only friends and family get promoted. I was never promoted my entire time there, suffered discriminatory actions against me many times and even though it was brought to HR three times nothing was ever done, believe it or not. I was lied to repeatedly and generally treated very poorly by people there for far less time than I was, the manager of my team spent more time home than in the office and played favorites and ignored my hard work. I gave my best effort which never seemed to be enough until I discovered I was born with the wrong color skin and then I was able to see clearly. I was lied to repeatedly both in front of my face and behind my back and suffice it to say, I am unhappy about my time there and would not recommend this as a place to work unless you are able to have a thick skin, the managers are very hard driving and low complementing. I am glad I am elsewhere now because discrimination is real there. Those from the Northern part of India have it best there.

Pros

Ceo is good. Good benefits. 401k, medical plan is good. Decent pto policy. Wfh and remote work policies are good You get to work on mission critical systems and can see impact.

Cons

There is no respect of your personal time. Some dev/delivery Managers have no engineering background except of a degree and they cannot offer solutions. Hence, the dependency on team is so high for every little thing. Folks higher up in the chain engage in activities that violate code of conduct and ethics. Work spouse are common place here. Some people are home grown and in leadership positions and do not know how to handle crisis, and large programs. Some leaders get to move around easily when they cannot handle work complexity, and pressure and due to this genuine folks have to suffer (in short rules bend behind scenes) (open bias). Leadership will stand for their favorites [bias] and save them even after failing to deliver and innumerable customer escalations. Few architects shout and believe they know it all.
