Great place to work

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* a lot of really talented engineers you can learn from * nice environment * flexible hours * open and direct communication

Cons

Sometimes too dynamic - projects can be canceled anytime and priorities change really quickly (probably good for business, but not pleasant for developer)

3.0

Lack of plans, Unorganized processes and more silos

Senior tech lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Liberty to express opinions on technology and demonstrate the same Pay is really decent. Flexible work-timing, decent leave benefits and RSUs

Cons

Lack of better leadership (implies 'lack of better future plans/roadmap", "shaky plans") Partiality between sites, may be due to politics (implies transfer the product dev work from one site to other, even if its doing good) No respect to colleagues across sites (within site, all are cordial and did get along well as ONE team) Communications from CEO KT would be non-helpful to employees, sometimes his email carries religious information, which would sound funny and not nice:-( Local management is also poor overall (except a very handful managers)
