Pros

For VGCS: Generally very good and knowledgable developers and helpful people. Good/okay tech stack in backend and frontend. Good work life balance. I am swedish so I can not comment on diversity inclusion just gave it a 3 star as average.

Cons

Very low salary. Some managers have quite bad communication skills. They can be political and implicit on their remarks and commands. Extremely poor understanding on the domain as well as performance and seniority of the team and team members. Scrum masters are not really scrum masters but just micro managers in the name of managers. They usually blame suppliers for everything that happens without much reason. Lost in politics and ego. High level of corporate bs. and culture discourse. Extremely boring and silent meetings where people do not speak up their mind on a solution. It is very hard to take action on the tech stack modify it etc. since it is decided by other people in another team.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
