Pros

The only pro is the RSU.

I have given 2 stars for RSUs alone; all other things you can consider as 0 stars.

Cons

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the company is mandating us to come to the office.

There is no decision-making ability given to managers up to the GM level.

The CEO makes the call that 50% of employees should come to the office.

That's it. Even if you have a 10-day-old baby in your house, you are not given an exemption; instead, they are asking us to wear a mask inside the house so that your baby won't catch COVID. No humanity at all.

Most unprofessional and most unethical company on this planet.

This is a new digital era where software engineers can work from home and be more productive, but this company never listens to you.

They have made a mandate that you should come and work in the company premises, even though you are able to complete 100% of the work assigned to you at home.

Double standards: One way they are saying that you are more productive at home, but still come to the office and get COVID.

Most frequent layoffs are another added worry.

You will never know when you are going to lose your job.

There are situations where a complete Business Unit is shut down or sold off to another company.

There are a lot more cons, but the attitude of the company towards the employees during COVID-19 is the worst one.

Definitely think before you accept an offer from this company.

Advice to Management

Please treat your employees as humans and not as lab rats.
