      Not that awesome as HR will portray at Time of hiring

      Pros

      * Good work life balance * Good for freshers only. * Udemy access

      Cons

      * In APAC (india) team, some regional bias is there. * More of contractor and freelancer based company * From my own experience, they may replace full time engineers with contractors if you ask questions, or put your views or any lame reasons. This is mostly done to control cost. HR is ineffective to resolve such issues. * Projects are more or less of B.tech project level , normal or below standard projects. But its good for freshers. * Managers are worried about their output, in course of the project they will not think about the team members development. This is true, so beware of fake promises during hiring. * So far I had a worst experience working in the developers center at APAC.

      Was a good place to work at, NOT anymore

      Pros

      Last 2 years, there have been no pros. Only one maybe - fully WFH Prior to that it was a really great place to work at. Oh and surprisingly HR was nice - smooth on and off boarding. I don't think they really care about the exit interview but still a smooth process. I'll give them 10/10 for that.

      Cons

      1. No clarity, No vision. I mean the company does have a vision to "Feed the world" but it's only on paper. 2. Build products which aren't really useful 3. Wayyyy tooo much micro management. like a lot. lot lot 4. Updating jira tickets >>>>>>> Actually delivering work 5. Constant org restructuring 6. Meeting meeting meeting, aluha meeting 7. Features are built to be scrapped 8. What promotions? 9. What Salary hike? is that even a thing? 10. They value contractors more than FTEs. 11. Required to attend late night releases 12. Agile team and scrum masters have been given a lot of authority. I think they confused what their role is. I'll put in the definition of a scum master here, hope one of them reads it and stops annoying the team; "A scrum master is a coach and a guide who ensures their team understands the scrum framework and its values and practices" 13. No career path. PS. I know all i have listed are cons but that is what the company has become. Talking about the past isn't going to help anyone.
