Pros

Nothing notable. I'd say the salad bar was decent at office but I dont really miss it. Despite the cons below, I'd still recommend the company because not all teams are alike. If you are lucky, you might end up in a good org with a good team.

Cons

1. Was typecast into a maintenance project/working on a legacy code base. Because of parental leaves, couldnt look for jobs outside. Despite expressing need for more challenging work for 2 years, NOTHING was done. 2. WLB - imbalanced on-call support. I was made to be the primary on-call guy for supporting a legacy app that was prone to frequent crashes. Not given cycles to improve its tech stack/performance, just to keep supporting it till its deprecation. 3. Because of above, no room for personal career growth/skillset upgrade. 4. Bad/basic parental policy. The managers treat you like you are going on a vacation if you take parental leave. 5. Disgruntled old time employees who liked being knowledge silos and hated sharing their knowledge unless coddled/getting manager involved.

Pros

The benefits are good The people are nice Remote work is nice

Cons

The cons would be they are failing as a company because they are not organized. They change products and systems way too much. They recently did a layoff and you were basically called into a mandatory meeting on a live stream and were told you no longer have a job HR comes on and tells you about your severance package and all your access will be cut off after the call. Management NEVER asks what you are working on where you left off and what needs to be done. That is VERY POOR Management and you will never be successful running a company like that.
