1. Overall CTC (Pay) is good (due to RSUs and ESPP option).
2. RSUs are unparalleled and vest every 3 months.
3. Highly rated tech professionals to work with and around. It's a great place for learning if you can put in the effort to learn and socialize accordingly.

1. HR is for namesake. Company policies are highly non-employee-friendly.

2. Promotions are rare, and you need to pull off magic to move to the next level, or a decade of service may be required (even for lower engineering roles).

3. Work culture is bad by industry standards. There are no events or any kind of team activities. It is all work and work.

4. Base pay is not at par with industry standards. It's very low, in fact.

5. You can avail time flexibility, but the amount of work will anyway lead you to spending more than industry-average hours.

Nothing is there in lower-level management's hands; it is all driven from the very top.

CEO interference is way too much, and his idea of the definition of an employee does not go beyond the pay scale. Low-level management needs to gather some guts and speak up. They are just trying to save their jobs and enjoy RSUs.
