Pros

- Work from home was a pro, now it has gone too, - Working on multiple technologies because they cut down their hiring budget and so they make single person handle multiple unrelated tasks

Cons

- Poor management - No structure - No culture or any kind of vision - No appreciation of hard work - Use of ancient technologies - Unnessesary and random layoffs - Big talk from management - No value for input from juniors - They think pressure = productivity - Unnessesary sprints and pushing employees - No chance to think or innovate - No growth salary wise, and career wise takes ages - Work life balance is in negative, they do not care for personal lives, will make you work on your deathbed, including Sundays!

Pros

I liked the people I worked with. Work life balance was fine for the time I was there.

Cons

CEO thinks he was in the military (very odd complex). At first, CEO seems like an inspirational leader with a TED Talk like delivery but deep down it is empty and patronizing.
