Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Remote working and car allowance

Cons

D&T culture so toxic that unless you are a yes man, you will be fine. Yes man mean working till late, no work life balance, take orders from multiple people who have director in title. Its boys club and they all take care of each other and dont care about people. They treat you really bad and make you work long hours with demands starting everyday. After all its american company.
