Pros

1-They provide work from home, and in my opinion, they do so to save office space costs and other miscellaneous costs that occur when an employee comes to the office. 2- Helpful people

Cons

1- Very toxic senior management(They think we are AI, expecting 18x productivity from us after Claude was provided, like, are you guys sick or what?) 2-As per the new policy, they expect everyone to use Claude and write a task brief on their own, create ui/ux, backend code, frontend code, qa automation, and ship to production (does not matter at what designation you are, be it product manager, software engineer(frontend, backend), or ui/ux guy 3- Hard deadlines 4-People are working more than 12-13 hours on average, and still, managers are not happy, and so the senior management is 5- they don't think of the employee at all (be it your health or whatever) 6-In the name of unlimited leaves, if you take leave, you are asked a question(my colleague has been asked questions when he just took 15 leaves in a year) 7- earlier this company used to be good when I joined, their Glassdoor rating was 4.4, and now 4, so you can understand how bad restructuring is going on. 8- Recently, they revoked offers as well for the new joinees, saying bandwidth is getting saved because of Claude (are you guys sick?) 9- Compensation is too low compared to the amount of work they are expecting, and we are delivering right now 11- Btw, all these are common to all the new teams formed, and older teams are a little bit stable and have work-life balance, but you won't be assigned to that team for sure, so honest advice, don't join this company at all, else it would turn out to be a nightmare for you.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with a strong employee-first culture. There are continuous learning opportunities, supportive leadership, and no micromanagement. Managers are approachable, and the company genuinely cares about employee well-being while offering great benefits.

Cons

I personally haven’t experienced any major downsides so far. I’ve been with the company for almost 2 years, and my experience has been very positive overall.
