Pros

The only pro you should ever think is leaving this organization.

Cons

Doesn't care about anyone else other than their favourite employees, who will get 100% hikes every year, so that they can be tied to a leash forever. No value of work life balance. They value micromanagement more than they value work.(Employees are coming in and logging time of their work and breaks on zoho, finish 9.15 hours everyday to get paid for that day which should be 8 hours of work only). No sense of how to run a company. They do not care about your personal problems, just want you to be in the office, they thing they are living in 2005 where the concept of work from home or hybrid doesn't exist. Nobody cares if it's raining fireballs, get to the office at all costs.

Pros

Remote, decent benefits. Good coworkers for the most part. Product is valuable, but is limited in use.

Cons

I thought I was going to be an anomaly, but I'm joining the train of other bad reviews I see here for good reason, this company doesn't actually grow in any tangible way, it just shuffles people in and out to maintain the illusion of growth. Top heavy for no reason. Countless VPs, SVPs etc.. with little to no idea how to manage the tech, customers, or product. Leadership changes every 3 months so no one really cares about any initiatives, and today they bring in yet another one who will predictably bite the dust in a quarter or two.
