Pros

Challenging work where you'll have ample opportunities to learn. Everything is well-disciplined, from the review of pull requests to writing test cases. Additionally, you will have the freedom to learn new technologies while working, and the team is generally cooperative, with the exception of one tech lead.

Cons

For the past 9-10 months, I've been primarily focusing on resolving bugs, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of the product. However, I haven't experienced much personal growth during this time. The lack of work-life balance is notable, especially given the small size of the development team, requiring additional hours. Recently, there has been a mass layoff due to team restructuring. Despite the company having sufficient funds, they opted to bring in new hires by letting go of existing employees. This situation has raised concerns about job security. Additionally, there hasn't been any appraisal for the last 1.5 years, and no salary increments have been provided. Moreover, the product is excessively complex, requiring a significant amount of time to comprehend. It differs significantly from the workings of other products, making the learning curve steeper.

Pros

Product had potential in the digital adoption space In a way it is sad that this is what's happened of a company which had the potential to become big and soo many motivated individuals in the early years who were aligned to the vision

Cons

CEO's leadership style created a toxic work environment employees resigned due to a particular manager brought in from CEO's secong company, yet concerns went unaddressed CEO had a pattern of hiring industry veterans only to abruptly fire them months later when things didn't turn around quickly enough Showed clear favoritism by protecting employees from his previous companies despite multiple complaints about their behavior Made questionable decisions like replacing experienced product leadership with a junior resource who had minimal experience Created a zero-trust environment except for his inner circle Would say one thing to your face while badmouthing people behind their backs 2024 Q3 onwards was chaotic with leadership scrambling to make the product work Seemed more interested in having yes-men who could manage up rather than skilled professionals who could do the actual work
