DO NOT JOIN - LAYOFF happens frequent every year

Anonymous employee

Pros

There aren’t really any advantages. The management doesn’t seem to have clear plans for the next year or even the next 2–3 years. Layoffs happen frequently, almost every year. If you join and the management doesn’t have a plan for your role, you could be asked to leave on short notice. I’ve seen this happen to many people.

Cons

Before you join, they stay in frequent contact—calling regularly, suggesting casual meetups, even taking you out for lunch—to encourage you to accept the offer. However, once you’ve joined, you should be prepared for the possibility of layoffs with 1 year or 2 or any day.

Pros

The company itself offers great opportunities, strong teams, and interesting work. From a business and technical perspective, it is a solid place to grow and develop your career.

Cons

the experience significantly deteriorates when interaction with the local HR and certain facility teams is required. There is a noticeable lack of employee support, and in some cases, communication feels restrictive rather than helpful. Situations that should be handled with professionalism and care are sometimes addressed in a way that creates discomfort and tension. While reading similar reviews on Glassdoor describing the HR management as having a “Soviet-style” approach, I found that I cannot disagree with that assessment.

Pros

Some colleagues and teams may still be professional.

Cons

Repeated layoffs and restructuring create instability. Poor transparency in employment decisions. Instability even after a contract was signed. Weak accountability when employee trust and security are at stake. Particularly harmful for employees whose immigration status depends on stable employment. The situation escalated further when I was asked to repay severance related to the earlier termination. Combined with the signed rehire contract and the uncertainty before the new start date, this created an extremely destabilizing and unprofessional experience.
