Worst company and CEO ever

Pros

nothing I can think of.

Cons

- the former CEO has a lot of illegal activities. - had to let go of some employees due to the fact they know a lot of his illegal activities - yelling, cursing, insulting and threatening employees are Srini's daily habit. - the former CEO ordered us to write good reviews about SR Labs here at glassdoor.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that at the time a lot occurred within the organization. Reviews like this and feedback from our current employees is what drove us to make necessary changes within the organziation. Since the appointment of our new CEO, Jennifer Nayar and the leadership team, we believe the company has come a long way, from when you were employed. Again thank you for your review. -Vela

Worst company I've ever worked for

Pros

-A pretty generous vacation policy -The hours are pretty flexible -Some cool technologies like Ember, Django and Scala.

Cons

-The CEO lies a TON. Small stuff. Big stuff. Anything to make her and the executive team look better. -My portion of the company was acquired about a year ago and the CEO promised that we'd maintain benefits like free lunch. A month later lunch was gone. -After months of awaiting long over due raises and bonuses, the CEO promised that raises would be back paid. Her solution? Don't give raises and it's not technically a lie. -They gave NY half day Fridays (the office that conveniently all C level employees worked out of) through the summer and all other offices $10 for lunch. -Tons of devs quit and they were never replaced. Others just had to pull more weight. -The CEO and her assistant wasted tons of money traveling the world while complaining about money when raises didn't happen. -After giving my resignation, no one from the company (outside of HR) even reached out to me to transfer 7+ years of knowledge.

No support, no investment, no career

Pros

They had a good product at a good time for the market and showed promise.

Cons

Definitely not a place for developing a career, the short term view is typical of a start up, but the lack of vision means that they will find moving up a step difficult.
