Pros

Remote work is the only perk

Cons

They have on call for engineers, which is rotated weekly basis. If you are on call its 24 hrs shift. for that entire week. One weeek every month, no proper sleep on top of that they expect you to work 12-15 hours normally. If you are india, there is tech stack is not used by many companies in India so difficult when switching. US employee enjoy better work balance compared to india and pakistan at motive
