Pros

• Competitive salaries and active hiring. • Collaborative teams and supportive colleagues can make a significant difference. • If you’re proactive about your career path and showcase your contributions - recognition is achievable. • People. Every employee is there to be their best self and you can trust people will do their best when collaborating. My direct team, manager, and hiring managers were the highlights of my experience— I'm forever thankful to them.

Cons

• The organization undergoes sudden and significant changes, requiring employees to be highly flexible and adaptable. • Visibility is crucial—without it, your work will go unnoticed. The loudest voices often dominate decision-making. • There are underlying gender dynamics that can be challenging. • A performance policy mandates that 20% of employees must be rotated out during each performance cycle, regardless of actual performance, which creates a stressful and unstable environment. • Budgetary issues can delay career progression, even when you’re on the right path.

Pros

1. Smart people 2. Company is growing 3. People are professional and motivated

Cons

1. Forced curve means you can work hard and be fired. 20% of the company is fired for performance every 12 months. This leads to politics, the more senior you get. Got unlucky to not work on a critical project - potentially fired. Others in the team are older and better adjusted with management - potentially fired. 2. Salary is not premium enough to justify the effort and risk. You can get a bad rating for being unlucky to be in wrong team or project. 3. No engineering leadership 4. They downlevel you during hiring and promotions take more than hard work and delivery. 5. Senior, Mid all are rated together. Very tough to get rated and promoted as a junior. Overall thankless and similar effort anywhere else would get you more scope, growth, compensation. If you don't want to work hard, then this is not the place for you. If you want to work hard, you could grow more elsewhere.
