Pros
  1. Remote work - offers a lot of flexibility in terms of getting the work done in your own time.

  2. Mentorship and decent career growth available if you take the initiative to be engaged and ask questions.

  3. The Affinity Groups are very nice community builders.

  4. Good learning opportunities, access to learning platforms and courses.

Cons
  1. The team keeps getting filled with new offshore contractors (mainly from India) after pushing out full-time employees. This not only gets morale low (Am I the next one on the chopping block?) but also timezone differences make it very hard to collaborate with team members, reducing the quality of work experience.

  2. There is a huge gap in knowledge sharing across the organization. It takes a lot of time to find information because not every team does responsible documentation.

  3. Even though there's unlimited PTO, there's a subtle pressure to not take very many days off, at least in my team.

  4. There is a communication gap between teams with not many people to bridge it, which makes it very hard to do cross-team collaboration.

Advice to Management

Do better communication with employees and try to keep at least half the people in the team in similar time zones. Co-workers with PST, EST, and CT is alright, but when most of the co-workers are in IST time zone, it gets very hard to collaborate. Pick better managers who are interested in the employees' career growth and supporting them.
