Talented colleagues and strong product technology. Some positive and supportive team environments exist.

Management practices inconsistent across departments. Unrealistic project deadlines often lead to burnout for Indian teams. Employee input is not always seriously considered. Company values regarding work-life balance seem disconnected from reality. Processes feel stagnant and need modernization badly. Recent acquisition has impacted overall company morale.
