Pros

nothing I can think of.

Cons

- the former CEO has a lot of illegal activities. - had to let go of some employees due to the fact they know a lot of his illegal activities - yelling, cursing, insulting and threatening employees are Srini's daily habit. - the former CEO ordered us to write good reviews about SR Labs here at glassdoor.

Pros

-A pretty generous vacation policy -The hours are pretty flexible -Some cool technologies like Ember, Django and Scala.

Cons

-The CEO lies a TON. Small stuff. Big stuff. Anything to make her and the executive team look better. -My portion of the company was acquired about a year ago and the CEO promised that we'd maintain benefits like free lunch. A month later lunch was gone. -After months of awaiting long over due raises and bonuses, the CEO promised that raises would be back paid. Her solution? Don't give raises and it's not technically a lie. -They gave NY half day Fridays (the office that conveniently all C level employees worked out of) through the summer and all other offices $10 for lunch. -Tons of devs quit and they were never replaced. Others just had to pull more weight. -The CEO and her assistant wasted tons of money traveling the world while complaining about money when raises didn't happen. -After giving my resignation, no one from the company (outside of HR) even reached out to me to transfer 7+ years of knowledge.
