Exploits US markets while off-shoring technical talent

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Remote work (although the CEO threatens to take this away if we don't "do well"... whatever that means -- not really tied to any indicator or metric)

Cons

- "Global strategy" is to exploit wealthy markets and lower waged workforces: - Lately has been only hiring in the US for sales (probably to exploit the wealthy US customer base) - Lately has been only hiring in India for engineering (probably to exploit their lower waged technical workforce) - Some teams now responsible for what 5+ teams were responsible for... no work life balance anymore. - Layoffs have overburdened teams with work, slowing GTM velocity. - C level doesn't care about what you're doing unless it's somehow tied to AI. - Enterprise AI pivot is marketing hype gone wrong: "get rich quick with 1 simple trick". TBD if it's actually profitable outside of venture capitol fundraising.
