      Pros

      Nothing is good. They can hire and fire you any time. Good thing is CTO & founder is out (he has no idea as to what he is doing technically). Best CEO, good background, He built very good marketing team, but unfortunately product failed technically because of former CTO mistakes (tried all technologies without knowledge & with out changing old code), Bad technical design. Good place to learn politics.

      Cons

      Worst product management team ever seen, they dont know about product. they dont know what they are doing. Worst Development Management poor in technical simply people management and politics. Worst dev managers & leads they dont know about technology but they are technical leaders. (e.g .Net guy leading java developers, sql leader for java developers, Weblogic administrator lead java guys) Worst testing ever seen, always try to create more politics. Lot of technical never share the information for newly joined persons especially who are staying more than 7,8, 10 years. All technical guys already left the company because of old employes, they will not share any information and management also encourage those people and retain if they are resign, management not encourage who working professionally. CTO & founder is out is good thing, but still we have other who are staying 7,8, 10 years with out technical knowledge they dont know latest technologies.

        Pros

        They give you laptop one the very first day with no USB access

        Cons

        Everything is dependent on your manager and managers are not trained for people management. No Onsite opportunities. Very bad leave policy. No cab facility If you get late.

          Pros

          A leading edge technology company with a great product and management team - a who's who list of successful leaders, a great product, as repeatedly noted by industry experts and clients. I'm an industry veteran and believe we are definitely on the fast track to growing to new heights. It is unfortunate that people who didn't adapt to change have negative things to say.

          Cons

          Not enough time to support all the requests in a day

          We appreciate your feedback. It is a very exciting time at Steelwedge and we appreciate you recognizing this.

            Pros

            As expected, a leading edge technology company with growing pains in a very competitive market. Best product and management team - a who's who list of successful leaders, a great product, as repeatedly noted by industry experts and clients. I'm an industry veteran and believe we are definitely on the fast track to growing to new heights. It is unfortunate that people who didn't adapt to change and needed to move on are struggling, as indicated by their comments. Change is constant - be a part of the solution

            Cons

            The challenge of not having enough time in the day to fully address all that is so very exciting and valuable to our customers.

            The changes we are experiencing are not unique to Steelwedge, although painful at times. We, too, believe this is very exciting time as we transform the business and appreciate your contribution.

              Pros

              Good only for those who play politics and blame others. Several people who are with the company for several Years play all sorts of games and are surviving, Steelwedge is safe haven for them.

              Cons

              Bad top management and CEO. Hyderabad center do not even have a center-head. No process, no road map. Work culture is bad. Push you with lot of work that weekends are gone. All hours, all days are working. Layoffs and lot of good people are leaving the company from last one Year. Even the CTO & founder is out.

                      Applying for 2 internal promotion positions within the same company each in a different state in the US. Should you mention this while in the interview stages of both positions?

                      Was told by an company I was interviewing with I would hear back from them the first week of December. The last time we spoke was before Thanksgiving, as I'm trying to respect their decision-making process. Should I reach out again now that we're closer to the date?

                      When negotiating salary over the phone, can you mention that you know what the salary is for the position you're applying for? E.g. I know people at the company I'm interviewing for in the exact level that I would be in who are making about 15k more than what I am expecting to be offered. Can I say, "I know Managers at this firm make xyz so I would like to be close to that number"
