Pros

None, unfortunately, they won't care about you.

Cons

Despite a few years giving your soul for them, they will throw you away like a vulgar kleenex.

Pros

Got to work with a some very smart people who left before I did!

Cons

Very messed up and non structured environment: I left within three months of joining as this place put me on mental counseling and gave me PTSD. They didn't even listened to me when I told them I had mental issues from the stress and the kind of control they wanted over my work. My manager completely ignored me. I don't know if that is illegal, especially given the kind of focus workplaces give to Mental Health. Continuous workout stress and burn out. My own team lead would take days off to relax from the PTSDs he would have, so did I. Nothing is organized and no objectives are clear! Vast micro-managed mentality: The root of this company's problems, as other reviews has outlined is the micro-management style they have. They keep pressing folks and show no trust in their people! Managers do bi-weekly meetings with each team member separately to compare their performance with other team members (as if they are not employing people but has kept them as slaved) with weird parameters like lines of codes pushed (lol) rather than discussing the help the team member needs and they would never appreciate the good effort team member put in! The level of distrust is up-to this level that each developer has to ask the CTO for an approval on an IM chat window if they need to push the code or not and CTO happily has a templated message which he replies back in one minute without even looking at the code! There is no development process and release process is all messed up. The environment and the management style has resulted in behavior where no one wants to collaborate and no standardized coding practices exist! The product is full of bugs and security risks with lots of loopholes. I worked on bugs that were 4 years old. The team has no idea of user privacy and audit control! The managers don't listen if you want to say No to them, as they are taught by this culture! No feedback is taken, resulting in stressful and chaotic enviornment!

Pros

As someone mentioned, nobody gives a sh*t. So you're that type of person, it's heaven. That's about it.

Cons

No technical leadership on all levels. The app architecture is a mess. Almost nobody knows how things work which creates bugs when developing a feature. The company doesn't care when a good/knowledgeable dev/qa quit, thinking everyone is replaceable. If you do a bad job or no job at all, you get promoted. It's all about creating a smoke screen, an illusion that you work and care. Lots of technical debt that just keeps on growing. Might be good as a first job, if you're smart you'll learn how not to do stuff. The opposite happens rarely if at all. The senior management is doing reorgs as if trying to improve things. They are either clueless or don't really want to make a great product. They will probably just sell at one point and run away.
