Pros

Only pros which i could see in last few moth are listed below : 1. Work from home / work for home 2. Flexible timings 3. Unlimited sick leaves etc

Cons

I can write a long essay on it.First of all they are very bad at resource planning. they will hire to for some technical skills say C++ but they will ask you to work on java, C#.People with windows back ground will be asked to work on linux. Software developer will be asked to work on test automation , code coverage etc. No proper planning. No proper work allocation

If you haven't discussed your points of improvement with your manager yet, then I hope I can encourage you to. Our management is active on this platform as well, so your feedback will be noted.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
