Pros

Nice company to do interesting work

Cons

Seem fragile lately and Chennai office seems to be design to take jobs away from North Americans and management is gaslighting people into thinking otherwise

Pros

Still chill in some orgs that are not XO.

Cons

Unfortunately the engineering is undervalued in this company, you could tell it’s just a cost. No events, no meetups organized. No travel to meet your team if you’re remote. There’s stagnation in salaries and focus is on sales and marketing. Stock is not growing at all for past 4 years
