Pros

The office location is good, nothing else.

Cons
  1. Worst office culture

  2. Anytime layoff, even within 2 months or before 1 year, so that they can save their ESOP (stocks given to employees) because for ESOP, the minimum locking period is 1 year. They do layoffs before one year.

  3. Anytime work, people normally work 9 AM to 11 PM. Because their office in the West US, so they need to overlap till 11PM.

  4. There is no obligation to work on Sat/Sun. Anybody in the company can call you, and it's usual for them.
