Pros

Enablement team (Jeremy), was amazing. Good Colleagues, Good Managers. Amazing promises made, and good waste of time. Product was good.

Cons

Indian HR team is the worst HR team I have witnessed in my career, ANU tried to made our lives difficult by making sure that we are not fed properly, she even made negative remarks about woman safety in an open forum without realising the repercussions of making such comments. Logistic was pathetic, every day cab issues and team couldn't manage it. Unachievable targets, no one even did 50%(consistently) in the last 1 year, also there was no guidance provided, no strategies, and US manager and Director intervened a lot, tried to micromanage each hour, and we faced a lot of discrepancies in terms of opportunities. The promises made during hiring wasn't fulfilled. They didn't even let us serve notice period. Policies kept changing for Indian employees as per convenience. We were asked to come to office everyday with no snacks, unhealthy food. Although they promised flexibility, remote, then later hybrid and what not!

Pros

Pay and benefits. Good office in Prague. A lot of career opportunities for talkers, but not for hard-working tech people.

Cons

1. Poor onboarding process. 2. Problems with getting knowledge about business domain and help. 3. Team has very little knowledge of business domain. 4. A lot of work going on in different directions which creates a context switch problem. 5. Manual testing blindly without understanding what you are doing - creating test-cases without knowing how to reproduce them. 6. Very limited and sporadic help with testing from STE. 7. Quality control is delayed till the production. As a result most work causes a large number of production issues. 8. Communication about work issues is non-existent. Everybody just keeps pushing the same workflow without listening to the advice. Feels like people either do not care about the results or just incompetent - not sure. 9. A lot of discussions without any result. 10. Communication is the king - most of the time you are working as BA, not the Software Engineer. If you like working with tech do not even think joining this company. 11. They can put you on PIP for not communicating actively enough about ONE task and not contacting ONE specific person when working on ONE task. I am dead serious.
