Pros: Most of the technologies are open-source, like Redshift, Hive, and Hadoop. Open to exploring new tech stacks. Competitive salaries. Doesn't enforce late-night meetings or stand-ups, even though the core team is in San Mateo.

Cons: HR doesn't know the process and bluntly makes fake promises related to policies. Policies in the US are far better than India. Currently, there are no cubicles, which is a little disturbing to work with.

Pros: 1. Team bonding and culture. 2. Work on the latest technology. 3. Open to new ideas.

Cons: The current state of our HR policy is far from ideal. The absence of a clear definition for the number of leaves we are entitled to has resulted in many of us taking fewer leaves than we should. In the past, our policy offered flexibility in terms of office hours and the option to work from home. However, recent pressure from the CTO to mandate 3 days of in-office work is causing concern. This request is particularly challenging for those of us who regularly extend our working hours late into the night to connect with colleagues in the US. The combination of inflexible office hours and an undefined leave policy is making our work environment less employee-friendly with each passing day. Furthermore, there has been a delay in the appraisal cycle. It is disheartening that the management has not addressed the issue of compensation for this delayed period. This situation is eroding the trust and morale of the employees.

Pros: Build cool features and learn new stuff every day at work.

Cons: Poor management and leadership. No benefits or employee satisfaction action items on the HR list.
