Pros

Decent benefits and perks. I enjoyed working with my team of nice people.

Cons

Top down culture that seeks to please the top leadership. Brown nosers got promoted fast while talents with true technical strengths and integrity got let go. Current executives are not forthcoming with the recent mass layoff during the COVID pandemic. Layoff decisions were made by directors who are completely detached from the ground troops. So they base their decisions on cutting their least favorites who happen to be top talents and most hardworking employees. Extremely political environment without technical rigors. I was literally scolded for "wasting time on properly engineering" a solution. Claim to accelerate AI as company's goal but lack true achievable visions. Top AI leadership especially lacks domain expertise and only seeks to please the executives with "castle in the air" AI roadmap. Talk big games but don't want to invest in AI infrastructure and talents. Truly a disappointing organization!

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
