Pros

Stock comp is great Products are solid

Cons

Honestly I can’t believe the fact that people can approve of a CEO that they have never interacted with! If you met him then, you would realize he is a terrible leader, he talks down to people, and is the most egocentric narcissistic person you have ever met. If you ever have the “honor” of presenting in front of him, prepare that he did not look at the deck before you walked in. He will look at his two phones the whole time you are in there, and will insult at least 2 people during your meeting…. Most of the insults are about your intelligence or how you look. The fact that he was awarded “best CEO” should tell you whatever periodical put that out cannot be trusted.

Pros

I was well paid, and I worked with some pretty decent folks.

Cons

Where to even begin? This was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had as a professional. IT is an abysmal org to work for. HR is basically a pit of vipers. About 85% Indian, with predictably bad results culture and management wise. Incompetent, dishonest, conniving craven backstabbing management, and a racist and sexist working atmosphere. Several new non Indian hires in IT either left or were fired within a year of joining. A terrible place to work if you are female and not Indian. Why? Because you are held to what is a de facto standard of Indian cultural values and behavioral norms rather than American or western norms and values. Women with strong voices and opinions are not welcomed or valued.
