Pros

Work level employees (Developers, dev ops, SREs, customer success) are in the highest professional level from all workplaces I have seen.

Sexy product, well established in the market. CTO definitely knows what he is doing.

HR team do a good job.

Nice office atmosphere, before and during COVID-19. Office manager Asia is a jewel.

Cons

In April, management decided to cut 10% of R&D employees' salary (C-level managers got a 15% cut), not to be discussed again before Feb 2021. Since that silly move, some very talented people left, including 2 VPs(!).

Considering the company has well enough cash, and it is not a custom to get an annual bonus for all employees, it is quite a brutal act.

Continuous integration is written in slides (Testing-Testing-Testing!!!) but managers simply do not encourage it, nor back developers who apply it. Do it on your own time & risk.

As far as company values goes, management endorses hard work into the night for fixing production issues. Prevention of problems is not acknowledged.

Advice to Management

On in all, the company looks well established in the market, so in that realm keep doing what you do.

Give back the money you took from the employees, you have more than enough.
