Pros

-Great technical exposure -Smarter coworkers -Flexibility of working from home at times

Cons

-Intimidating environment -Huge Communication gaps within folks -No defined roadmap for growth -Crappy internal tools -Forcible training sessions -They take exams like a school (there are better ways to go about it) -Pathetic yearly compensation (way lower than industry standards) -They focus on hiring workforce at minimal compensations -You’ll have to work on holidays- it’s a 24x7 environment; forget Christmas even -They’re always short of manpower -There are a lot of senior guys who’re still hanging around with them because of their own reasons, not because they want to work in a company like eSentire -Absolutely no rewards and recognition environment, never seen such a thing in my 2 years tenure -No parties/ fun activities at all; clearly tells you a lot about their character as a company -They strictly allow only a 30 mins break, like you’re a tuned robot and not a human -If they can chuck out their tenured C level executives who have been with them since inception and that too without giving any proper justification, you don’t even exist for them -Imagine working in place like eSentire where nobody greets each other even a Good Morning (at least majority of them don’t) or exchange pleasantries -Except mandatory 1:1’s, nobody has ever asked me - How are you? If I were comfortable working there not not, they use you like a commodity -Just pure bland work environment which eventually turns out to be a toxic one since it never changes -There’s a reason why they couldn’t grow even after being in business for 19 long years; when their competitors like Artic Wolf have grown enormously in just 8 years into the market and still doing better than them
