Pros

1) As you can see from my profile, I've held a variety of jobs, but Balbix is a place where I want to invest more time since I feel like I have something to contribute. 2) The weekly CEO connect displayed assurance and sincerity. 3) My boss has never asked me why I'm taking a leave of absence, and when I did, a few months ago, no one called to ask me any questions. 4) I am free to share my ideas with any department without reluctance, and they always provide you with honest feedback. 5) Bangalore's centrally located office and hybrid work arrangement were good choices, in my opinion. 6) Amazing innovation from a forward-thinking team.

Cons

Insurance coverage for parents should be a win-win.

Pros

Pay could be decent, if you negotiate well. Work -Life balance.

Cons

They took 8+ years (they talk about rewrites but it is mostly the same stuff dressed up in new form) to build something a team of 5 can build in under 6 months and maybe with AI assisted coding even faster. To add to this, what they have built breaks often and the only way it scales is by paying huge bills to cloud providers. Pedigree is preferred over real expertise. The core issue with Engineering is that the CTO ( a nice guy and the most hardworking person you will ever meet) blindly trusts 2 senior folks. These guys have ensured job security and basically kicked out anyone who has tried to change things or was more competent than them. Most engineering teams do not have a self contained dev environment. Engineering is elementary at best. You are in perennial POC mode and push what 'ends up' working first in demo to prod. Just very very sad. DevOps & Product Management, it is even worse than engineering. Maybe they should just hire interns and I'm sure they would do a better job. Sales ( from my outside view ) is the only reason this company has survived for so long, credit where it is due. But most good folks left. No access to the CEO so can't comment about him. I had a chat with him as part of my interviews and that is it never after that.
