Pros

They offer decent pay and benefits.

The senior engineers are really good, and helpful.

Cons
  1. There is a poor work-life balance because some Indian managers expect you to work on weekends without offering a comp-off, or they make false promises of one later.

  2. The company seems to have grown allergic to remote work. It’s sad to see a company that grew to $1B by being remote-first move away from the very culture that helped make it successful.
