Doesn't RecommendDoesn't Approve of CEO
Pros
  • Fitness reimbursements, including gym memberships and other sports.
  • Free lunch (but pathetic).
  • Work from home and home office setup.
Cons
  • Not a great place to work. Stay away.
  • Managers are pathetic, especially non-technical managers.
  • Micromanagement, no, I would say nanagement.
  • Just update Jira tickets—skip the real work, and you'll still grow.
  • What is Hike?
  • Most managers are unable to handle teams of more than 8 members.
  • They will say 100% automation, but they are just words. Your whole time will be spent on manual efforts.
  • Daily triage, that too manual, and only script updates.
  • Triaging and fixing scripts won't count as measurable effort, yet you'll spend 80% of your time on it.
  • Lengthy processes, even for small updates.
  • The framework is at its saturation point. It is in maintenance mode.
  • If you raise concerns, don’t expect support—managers are more likely to defend than resolve them.
  • You’ll get WFH, but no real work-life balance—just the illusion of it.
Advice to Management

If an employee is raising concerns to higher management, don't throw them out. Listen to the concerns.
