Pros

Nothing that comes to mind.

Cons

Some of the south east asian managers in the USA are pain to work under them. The immediate management is inconsiderate, biased, micro-managing and timid. Management advocates for open feedback. The moment one shares candid feedback, they will punish in discreet ways and make you feel miserable. Lack of transparency and be ready for frequent re-orgs. Vice-president and above have their own vision. Directors and managers vision is different from executive leadership. Professional growth only if you oblige and pamper your manager. No retros at the end of the quarter, treat employees as another cog in the wheel, no skip level 1:1s. Lacks competitive pay, no work life balance, emotionally toxic culture. Team members are the least helpful.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
