Pros

Excellent perks, and the company takes good care of its employees. The 2 stars mentioned in the overall rating are solely because of the perks and the CEO.

Cons

Exercise caution before considering joining this team. Initially, they may appear good and reasonable, but their true intentions become evident over time. They have a habit of periodically terminating employees, choosing targets at will.

The testing team, in particular, may seem busy but lacks substantial work. Their credibility is questionable, as they frequently fail to uphold their promises.

Senior management seems disconnected and will go to great lengths to stifle dissenting voices. If you seek a peaceful and stable work environment, this may not be the right choice, as decisions change abruptly, and even top performers can suddenly see their performance decline when the company decides to terminate them.

The manager in question displays unprofessional conduct and, in the event you become a target, may adversely affect your professional life.

Advice to Management

It's essential to make personnel decisions that prioritize the company's reputation by retaining dedicated employees committed to the company's welfare. Regrettably, a friend of mine was compelled to resign from a position here due to the mental toll caused by such an environment. Despite their unwavering dedication and long hours, the manager continually found fault, leading to months of counseling to cope with the emotional strain.

To attract and retain the best talent, it's crucial to show genuine respect for those who truly contribute through their hard work.
