Pros

- "Free" food (not anymore after covid) - Good learning experience if you want to branch off into politics. - WLB is decent if you just say yes to silly deadlines and don't meet them. (trying to set reasonable expectations would lead to more frustration)

Cons

- Rampant micromanagement. - Boot-licking culture encouraged by senior managers. - Performance reviews are treated more as a formality than a discussion of goals and feedback. - The bar for managers is really low, non-technical people are heading engineering teams. - Working extra hours is considered more important than your work output. - Inflated work pressure so managers can boast on LinkedIn how much they achieved in just X months of joining the company.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
