Pros

Nothing can be considered as Pros when there is zero job security.

Cons

Frequent Lay-off with out proper head's up (They call the employees in middle of meeting and make them to leave immediately) Not sure of other locations but Chennai is the worst with unskilled and coward top management who will never question on Austin team's decisions every one is concerned only to keep their seats safe. None of the manager possess technical or managerial skills and no one here is capable enough to take decisions. There is no HR team in Chennai as both the recruiters are laid off back to back.

Pros

Fast paced work, opportunity to work with cross border teams, good products, process oriented, decent compensation and work life balance.

Cons

No job security - they fire people at hours notice. Lack of good HR management. Lot of mismanagement. Little or no product training, no onsite opportunities for dev. Too much processes that slows down growth. Too much politics for a small company. Unwanted managers at certain level. No promotions.
