Pros

No pros now after 2025

Cons

The company has been going through continuous layoffs across multiple teams, and the Darwin team has been impacted heavily — almost half the team size has been reduced. This has created a stressful and insecure work environment where employees constantly worry about job stability rather than focusing on meaningful work. One of the biggest concerns is the unhealthy team culture and internal politics. There appears to be favoritism and bias in some teams, where certain employees actively look for mistakes made by Indian colleagues and unnecessarily escalate small issues instead of supporting collaboration and growth. This creates a toxic atmosphere and impacts team morale significantly. - Frequent layoffs and lack of transparency - Toxic politics and biased behavior in teams - Poor HR accessibility and employee support - Low trust and declining morale - Hostile work environment
