Pros

- having a job is better than none

Cons

- your manager takes all the credit, if he likes you, you get promoted. Else, you will either be used if you have dependancy or be terminated ruthlessly. - requirements will be a single line puzzle, they have a word for it called "being scrapy". It translates to "tech manager and product manager won't do their work" and when there are issues the dev will be blamed. - no work life balance, people call you on huddle, mobile without consent late at night and during holidays. - tech team is comprised of the following categories 1. People call themselves gurus, dont do any work, dont architect, just create dependancy because they are here since start. 2. People who have skills below par of a fresh graduate and work tirelessly and writing code without thinking, creating more bugs. They won't even try to learn 3. Tech managers who just delegate stuff. 4. New hirees who are ready to quit soon having witnessed the above. - addicted to releases, so they push substandard code - no genuine growth will be provided. - product has been impacted greatly because of chatGPT

Pros

I've had a wonderful experience working at the company so far. The team is highly collaborative, and our cross-functional partners genuinely value user experience as well as thoughtful product development for AI products. I've been able to work on high-impact features across many surfaces. The ownership given is both motivating and empowering. The team is very supportive and open to feedback. Work-life balance is solid, and the work environment is flexible and trust-based, which makes it easier to do great creative work.

Cons

Processes are still evolving as the company grows, so priorities can shift quickly and require adaptation.
