Software Engineer 2 • Former Employee
Pros: 1. Industry standard compensation
2. Cabs (but very poor service)
3. Food (quality is poor, also not allowed to ask for more than 2 chicken pieces)
Cons: Feels like a toxic startup environment in India despite being a global brand.
* Extremely poor work culture — managers, leaders, and HR lack empathy.
* Rigid 3-day in-office requirement, even if you are unwell — otherwise, you are forced to take leave.
* Office hours are officially 10 AM – 4 PM, but real work happens after hours: daily calls from 5:30 PM to 10–11 PM, followed by more work to resolve issues from those calls.
* US managers work only until 3–3:30 PM their time but keep pushing work and pressure on India team members late into the night.
* Cab service is unreliable and food quality is bad.
* 90% of employees are just waiting to complete a year or get another offer (even with the same pay) to leave.
* Work is mostly no-code tasks or migrations — little to no real learning or career growth. Feels more like being in school than in a professional engineering role.
* Surveys are claimed to be anonymous, but feedback leads to direct confrontation from managers the very next week.
