Pros

Some colleagues are smart, diligent and capable. Mediocre senior-level manager have no vision and delivers nothing

Cons

Accept the offer only if it’s the only option you have. Use TR offer to get competing offer compensation wise, and you will gain more professional career growth and personal health at another company. Working at TR has been the most unworthy professional experience of my career. Before you consider joining TR, read the reviews on Glassdoor, and most are true experiences. From the negative comments, judge what are emotions and what are facts. Unstable work environment, a lot of hiring every month to compensate a lot of people quitting and getting fired. Ask about the attrition rate at the company. Ask about the difference of KPI and milestone KPI where the company adopts the latter and it leaves room for vague target for performance reviews, only delivery matters, not the quality. No bottom-up feedbacks were taken for real even thought the company conduct surveys from time to time. Incapable managers fire people to cover for their own incompetency and failures. Curse words are used in meetings and in the office. This is likely not what you look for. Your creativity and talent will be better appreciated and valued at any other big tech firm, bank or another tech scale-up.

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.
