Pros
– A few great engineers trying to make it work.
– Office is in a central location.
Cons
– Toxic leadership culture rooted in micromanagement, blame, and fear — no psychological safety.
– Whether you're an engineer or a manager, you're treated like a child — second-guessed, monitored, and given zero trust.
– Senior leadership regularly takes credit for team efforts while offering no recognition.
– If you perform well, it goes unnoticed. If you make one mistake, you're thrown under the bus.
– The CHRO's toxic behavior is widely known and yet fully protected by the C-suite. New HR professionals: avoid.
– The CEO appears completely disconnected from reality — visibly uncomfortable with honest feedback during all-hands meetings, defaulting to outdated thinking. Either he's shielded from the truth, or he's choosing to ignore it.
– Salaries are among the lowest in the market, despite the company making billions in revenue.
– Leadership has the audacity to claim they're “competitive” — yet they struggle to attract talent due to poor compensation, and salary increments are almost symbolic.
– In all-hands, the CEO insists salary is “not an issue” — which either shows how misinformed he is or how effectively the CHRO filters reality.
– Office work policy is rigid: 3 to 5 days per week depending on the department, 8 hours clocked, breaks not included.
– Physical workspace is borderline unhealthy: dim lighting, migraine-inducing blue lights, no natural light, worn-out chairs, basic desks, and AC that’s either freezing or broken.
– Multiple employees have reported eye strain, headaches, and physical discomfort from the setup — and it’s brushed off.
– There’s no proper culture to speak of — just superficial perks like occasional cake and a sad breakfast three times a week, every other week.
– Team budgets are tiny, innovation is blocked, and burnout is high.
– Expect the usual PR reply about their “98% employee satisfaction” survey — used to invalidate real, lived employee experiences.
