Cons

1) some processes have too much red tape. 2) seniority is often based on years of experience rather than job performance 3) geographically diverse teams, so lots of meetings and productive work to be done over phone outside normal work hours

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours and location.

Cons

I received good reviews from my managers but still had only one salary increase in six years. Clearly there is a huge gap here in terms of compensation/benefits/perks compared to other Bay area companies. You're always expected to overachieve but engineers receive little recognition. Immigration process is terribly slow. Because there are so many remote workers, it's hard to communicate even within your own team members.

Worst One, Dont get into trap by seeing Brand name

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Work culture Company for married women ( who can go home soon and take care of their kids)

Cons

No Perks ( Every year company will look for reason for no hike/bonus) Company set the unattainable target then only they can say, company didn't perform as expected. Employer never care about employee. If you quit there will be 10 people waiting for to get in, And anyone can do the same job you did in next 2 month. Because they are using oldest technology. No innovation. You can't learn anything new.
