Pros

* Good work life balance * Good for freshers only. * Udemy access

Cons

* In APAC (india) team, some regional bias is there. * More of contractor and freelancer based company * From my own experience, they may replace full time engineers with contractors if you ask questions, or put your views or any lame reasons. This is mostly done to control cost. HR is ineffective to resolve such issues. * Projects are more or less of B.tech project level , normal or below standard projects. But its good for freshers. * Managers are worried about their output, in course of the project they will not think about the team members development. This is true, so beware of fake promises during hiring. * So far I had a worst experience working in the developers center at APAC.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
