Poor work culture, and CEO does not care about the employees

Business Outlook

Pros

The company gives good RSU benefits.

Cons

The company is only interested in generating profits. No more, no less. The CEO insisted we had to return to the office during lockdown--despite several arguments to the contrary--and wouldn't hear a word against it. There appeared to be a distinct lack of interest in employees' well-being, with the insistence that a little extra money thrown at us means we should be happy.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good place to work with excellent colleagues - Work life balance is good - Job stability (many people stay at the company for a long time) - Interesting projects - Excellent implementation of Agile methodology - Good pay and benefits

Cons

- Management are irrationally reluctant to let people work from home, even in the middle of a deadly pandemic. They make you come into the office even though you're not allowed to talk to anyone and have to dial into every meeting anyway because meeting rooms are closed. - The appraisal system is done by imposing arbitrary quotas of "above average" "average" and "below average" performers.
