Pros

- Work-Life balance accommodation are almost always granted (depending on your manager) - You are encouraged to explore options to make your job easier and better - You get some Perks for being an employee

Cons

- Strict enforcement of core hours (you get reported if you are 1 second late and have not notified at least 2 hours before that you would be late) - Though work from home is possible and you are allow to do it for personal reasons, it is frowned upon. - Business is not transparent in its roadmap decision which tends to lead to last minute rush jobs to deliver by due dates that were known months in advance but was not communicated till weeks before due. - There are communication problems between business and IT which tends to cause problems due to items being overlooked and not addressed till IT calls them out which need to be address without changing due dates. - Business cares more about delivery than quality which tends to cause a lot of problems once the code goes live. - You are required to have many hats due to quiet hiring mentality - Benefits are subpar

Pros

At one point, they had solid backend engineering team that built a very scalable and resilient system. Salary compensation seemed decent relative to other companies in the area, but there was no equity based compensation so hard to say in terms of TC. Easy to advance and take on more responsibility because constant dysfunction and turn over would create power vacuums.

Cons

No vision. Engineering management, VP and above, had a poor understanding of engineering challenges and what it takes to build a robust system. If there were elevated error rates on subsystems, not even necessarily customer impacting, there would have be a big meeting with all the teams involved that senior management would join that usually resulted in blaming and finger pointing. Management would ask a team to focus on something and deliver it, only to switch gears when that team was full steam ahead-- sometimes just to give the work to another team-- very confounding-- seemed to have a lot to do with politics, cost-cutting and a desire to offshore work. Benefits are very poor.
