Pros
- Small company so theoretically you have better visibility. Cozy office space - Some good benefits. Work from home. Work life balance is ok. - Can pull off few hours of google search as “research/innovation” and bask in its glory. - Haven for process junkies.
Cons
- Legacy products to maintain and people who know them have either left or are leaving. - Zero value for longevity. Employees are mere resources. - Especially in Hyderabad office: Favoritism. Whimsical mid level managers and directors have too much power (and no scrutiny). Closed room meetings. Defunct HR. Employees hardly have any voice. - Since Jan ’16, layoffs are now a quarterly ritual. - Lack of technical leadership. Developers are ultimate scapegoat. However, if you are a QA, you are probably in a better position. - Unclear future direction.
