Cons: I can't think of a single con.

Worst company I have ever worked for.

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: No benefits, just a timely salary. Join only if it's your last resort, and leave as soon as a better opportunity comes along.

Cons: - Many employees in the U.S. were laid off, with jobs being outsourced to lower-cost offices in India. - This has created competition rather than collaboration between teams in India and the U.S., as each region tries to secure more work. - The technology is outdated, with little room for innovation. This company does not function like a true product company. - While the use case is promising, excessive workload and micromanagement will leave you overworked, stressed, and prepare you to be a client of this company for the future. - Working on weekends is the norm, and those who do are encouraged and rewarded. The manager forces you to be available around the clock. - High attrition is a major issue—most employees leave within a year, leading to constant hiring. Many join here as a last resort. - They provide lunch, but the quality is so poor that it could lead to health issues. - Special lunches are arranged only when U.S. higher management visits, as they wouldn't survive eating the daily meals provided to Indian employees. - The management is terrible, with no real career growth. - They deceive new hires by inflating the value of their stock options, claiming they are worth $75, when in reality, they are worthless. The ESOP program is a scam. Every year they show the dream of going for IPO, which never happens. - If you have no other option in this tough job market, you can join as a last resort—but leave as soon as a better opportunity arises. - I had no idea how can a company in health domain can be so unhealthy and soul sucking. This company has the potential to destroy your entire career. - Avoid this company at all costs if you can.
