Pros

Excellent work-life balance. The HR head did not even come to the office in the past six months and was most of the time in Hyderabad. You can do whatever you want; no one cares. Join only if you are desperately looking for a job.

Cons

Poor infrastructure and facilities for engineers.

Too many technology roadmap changes.

Huge gap in what was communicated by the leadership to the engineers joining the organization and what is actually done.

All the good leaders and engineers have abandoned the sinking ship.

Moving more into production support jobs.

The India development centers are sinking, and the US management is not bothered about the team.

Advice to Management

Make changes to the benefits and facilities to make them world-class.

Try to get some good development work done before hiring good engineers from the market.
