Pros

Working on a product with a potential.

Cons

* Very bad onboarding and off-boarding. Onboarding to the code base was around 10 minutes. * Most of the things related to the codebase are not documented anywhere, and there are no team-wide engineering or communication practices. * Huge gap between Android and iOS teams; * Bad communication skills from managers. Goals, tasks, and deadlines are not explained clearly * Feedbacks are ignored * Blame culture * Lot of evening meetings and no respect for work-life balance * Overseas communication * Awful health insurance that does not cover many important things * Lot of egos and unwillingness to solve the problems

Pros

Great benefits, growing company with lots of opportunities.

Cons

Management struggles to align on priorities, which creates a constantly shifting environment with unclear direction and success metrics. Teams are often given contradictory guidance or asked to pivot without context, making it difficult to execute effectively or plan with confidence. There is also a concerning pattern in how feedback is handled. Feedback often appears to be based on assumptions rather than concrete examples or evidence. When employees raise reasonable concerns or ask for clarity, it is sometimes reframed as negativity or labeled as contributing to a “toxic environment.” This shifts focus away from the underlying issues such as lack of alignment and communication and places it on individuals instead. Over time, this dynamic discourages open dialogue and reduces trust. Teams become more focused on managing perception than delivering outcomes, which ultimately impacts morale, efficiency, and overall performance.
