Pros

Great workplace, lot of support from the management. Not much intervention from management side for improving technical problems.

Cons

Not much care or reward on technical achievement. Especially on "invisible" technical development.

Pros

None any. See advice to management section.

Cons

I worked as part of the an acquisition and the company seemed to have closed it boundaries on its policies towards the subsidiary companies and lets them operate on their own. Very high turnover of employees in the recent past. The company has invested a lot in terms of hiring but has gone wasted with employees leaving the company mainly due to ethical issues. 2 out of 3 senior engineers in my team have left the company within a year - What does this tell you? I witnessed senior management harassing employees during their notice period criticizing their work and deadlines publicly in front of 40 other team members. This was escalated to HR but the action taken was no less than advise was given to teams to take conversations professionally. I also witnessed senior management publicly yelling at folks if they are late at meetings. This is no longer a professional work environment and the company has taken zero actions towards fixing it. Some folks in senior management are clearly a bully who takes advantage of power and has been misusing it. Technical leadership is a joke that the company should take hiring seriously to run engineering teams.
