Pros

HR was always great. Benefits are good.

Cons

When I was hired on in 2018, things seemed great in Chicago. The people were brilliant and everyone was friendly, positive, and collaborative. The office really functioned like a team. However, in September of 2018 there was a massive reduction in force that definitely affected the Chicago and Austin offices. This would become a very clear indication of the next two years I spent at IPsoft. Chetan Dube deserves all the credit for the downfall. Please believe me when I say I truly believe this man to have no morals or empathy whatsoever. He has absolutely no care for his employees whatsoever. Chicago was at 110 employees when I arrived in July 2018; 19 were left when my role was eliminated in July 2020. The reductions in force were continuous, affecting all US offices--including NY--despite Chetan promising the entire company in town hall meetings over and over again that "we're a family", that "we will not lose another member of the IPsoft team". None of that was true, not even for a second. I do feel relief that I am no longer an employee purely because I was becoming very unable to morally acquiesce to the awful treatment of everyone by leadership and Chetan himself. The company name is also changing in America from IPsoft, Inc. to Amelia US LLC which as of the time I left, had not been communicated to employees. This was a direct result, I think, of Chetan royally ruining the company's finances. The accounting employees and leadership wouldn't be dropping left and right if that weren't the case. The rent for offices would have been paid. The electricity bills for offices would have been paid. This company is very much in the red. I genuinely hope the good people that are left in Chicago, Austin, and New York find a way out soon and I hope that Chetan never has a restful night of sleep in his life. I'm not only placing blame on him because he is the CEO; his leadership team deserves to reckon with their wrongdoings as well--but Chetan is leading the charge in every irresponsible and reprehensible way he possibly can. This is not the company to join. Maybe in a few years once there is any semblance of stability, if the company really can provide a stable product--which Amelia is not currently--maybe it will be a good place to grow. But not now or in the near future.

Pros

They used to have monthly happy hours and events to keep people happy

Cons

Salary is low, expectations are high. Most engineering was moved off shore when the AI did not do well. Funding seemed to have been cut and events have been cut as well
