Product struggles and poor leadership overshadow potential
Pros
It's a decent company until it isn't. Overall while the industry is in huge and mature but the product is weak and hard to sustain. While the industry is moving away from Captcha the because the company is invested heavily in Captcha, they're trying hard to sustain. - Overall there are huge customers to work with. - CEO has great energy and contributes alongside you. - Product is decent but not best at all. - Leadership is pathetic, everybody is trying to improve their pay and put themselves in good lights of top level executives so they can be called to US or get better positions.
Cons
- The Product leadership is pathetic, the new department leader acts like smart but he has blabbering mouth, speaks difficult sounding words just to sound smart without doing any real work. Ask him his one latest work he accomplished and you'll have your answer. Not to mention his work commitments always fail. - Atleast product leadership is filled with mid-level managers who behaves like head of department and acts with tons of attitude. He'll know it's for him after reading this if at all he reads. - Everybody is trying to put themselves in the good lights of top executives, so they can be promoted, asked to come to United states and move to a bigger company like Akamai or F5 (Similar is what the above Mid manager I mentioned did) Anyways my feedback is not only towards the Mid-manager or the leadership but for the ones who wants to join next. There are core challenges in the way they operate and you won't notice in first few months. - Overall if you really want to progress well in your life, working on a great product that has commanding position in the market, this is not the place to be. - Also India office runs like a school with a headmaster like concept.
