I have seen reviews which are biased and don't paint a true picture.

1. Good growth outlook, as they are a market leader in the CPaaS space, and they are not sitting on that, but trying to diversify the core business and looking for avenues of growth.
2. No/very less micromanagement.
3. Pretty good platform capabilities compared to other product companies seen here in India. Developers are left to core development instead of worrying about 10 other things.
4. Transparent higher management, with a clear vision.
5. Complete remote for existing employees in India.
6. Great time to join now, as the stocks are at an all-time low with a lot of headroom to grow.

1. Stocks are very volatile (although that's across SaaS companies, but a little more than other SaaS companies). The stock was skyrocketing during the pandemic, and a lot of folks joined smelling dollars. Now the stocks are down, and they are really sad, as they should be. I read in a different review that stocks are taxed 42%, which is completely untrue.

2. Fixed part of the comp is not very attractive.

3. Seeing record-high attrition, which is causing delays in roadmaps again.

4. Top management decision-makers are mostly in the USA. But they are expanding a lot of important functions to APJ and India.
