Pros

fast growing company, good products

Cons

Extremely poor management, horror experiences. No mentors for new grads. Repetitive work. No debugging tools. Salary growth is equivalent to negotiating for nickels and dimes. Code review process needs major improvements.

Pros

I wonder what makes people give such a rating.

Cons

1. No Wfh. You are expected to copy the hrs in mail, if you are working from home in case of any incident. 2. Mid level managers don’t understand technologies/technology stack. Also do not know how to manage a team. 3.Ctc not as per industry standards. Stock options provided earlier was way better.

Technical Support

Pros

Company is good. Lots of knowledge to gain and improve technical skills.

Cons

--> The Dallas TAC office is the worst. Do not take a job here if you want to live a healthy life. --> Technical support engineer gets paid peanuts as compared to the industry. --> Dallas TAC is run by a team who mentally torture and abuse their employees with threats and excessive workload. Very few complain as they do not want to risk their job. Unfortunately, HR is awesome as they never respond to any complaints. --> Even a one minute delay , literally one minute delay to login gets you a flak from a VP ! Wow --> PTO policy is worse. They force you to put in hour based PTO's ! --> So many L2 engineers have left in the past few months and more to follow. The arrogance of the management at Dallas TAC is increasing everyday but they will not listen to their employees. --> Cheap behavior , bagels on fridays. --> Micromanagement is not the right word, it's actually nanomanagement. --> They are actually requesting new employees to give them 'Good Reviews' as they had a spate of bad ones last year. Please Scroll down and see the old ones from 2017.
