Pros

At this point Cant think of any

Cons

It used be one of the best employee centric companies back in 2020 When I joined Pay was above the market level Recently they started to take Disastrous policy changes, Changing Notice period to 90 days from 30, Reducing ESPP %, Exhausting work because resources are leaving and no new hires, No pay review only thank you mails for getting the job done in weekends. Managers call you at any point of time during the week. Product owners don’t have any idea about the product, instead they just adds work, there are counter part teams from HO but I have hardly seen them taking any effort, most of the teams are running due to 3-4 Members where should be 8-10 Members workload wise.
