Pros

Nice product, much to learn.

100% work from home.

Great team (also depends on your manager).

Good salary at the time of joining, compensated by 3-4% hike and deducting bonus afterwards. However, if someone is not good at negotiation, HR will try to trap them on the name of RSU.

Cons

Many hikes miss at random appraisal cycles.

Delayed IPO.

Forced layoff, where they will make you leave the company without them asking by jeopardizing career aspirations and stagnating financially.

As a consolation, HR will give RSU; however, it has no value as if you leave the organization before IPO, even vested RSU will be forfeited.

Stock and RSU have no value because of the high exercise price (even more than the current stock value as per the company's own assessment). RSU will become null and void if the company never goes IPO, or if someone leaves the organization or is laid off.

Advice to Management

No appraisal for existing employees, citing a bad market, while new hiring is done with substantially high salaries for the same role.

Please don't scheme against hardworking employees in junior positions. This is on top of the bad policy which has put the company in a rough phase.
