Pros

No pros based on the way things turned out in this company.

Cons

My time at this company was extremely damaging to my career and well-being. The culture is toxic: leadership is inexperienced, erratic, and routinely makes abrupt decisions that create confusion and impossible workloads.

Teams are reorganized with alarming frequency and without any real transition plan, which destroys productivity and morale.

Promotions and compensation are inconsistent, and it often feels like they have zero intention to retain and promote talent. Performance reviews are unpredictable and sometimes punitive rather than developmental.

The company loudly advertises its “ByteStyles,” but those values are not modeled or enforced by leadership — the reality is performative.

I watched talented colleagues become burned out or leave because their efforts were ignored or devalued. If you care about steady career growth, fair evaluation, and a respectful workplace, you should be extremely cautious before accepting an offer here.

Important for future prospects: On top of that, there have been frequent layoffs recently (and more to come), creating an environment of constant uncertainty where employees feel anxious about job security.

Advice to Management

Invest time in learning fundamental management principles and applying them consistently. Adapting to different markets and cultures requires genuine understanding, not quick fixes. Start listening to employee feedback instead of dismissing it. The recurring burnout and turnover are clear warning signs that something is deeply wrong. Lead with competence and empathy, not constant disruption.
