Pros

1. Good for entry Level candidates with a package of 5 LPA. 2. Good for QA as there are a lot of Automation work, Even freshers gets automation tasks.

Cons

1. No onsite. 2. Life of developers are in hell here, too too much of work pressure and QA is not responsible for any mistakes made by you, if something fails in PROD then you will be blamed. 3. Computer labs type sitting arrangement, there is no cubical here. 4. Perks are really really less as compared to any other product based company. 5. There is no Job security feeling here. 6. There is no office timing like 9 to 6 or 11 to 8 , you will have to work based on the requirements in USA, No shift allowances if you are asked to work from home. 7. Work From Home is not available for new joiners, even if you ask for it, but if company wants then you will have to work till 1-2 AM daily(no allowances for that also). 8. HR is not able to restrict senior employees to take work from home,managers and leads can take work from home whenever they want. 9. Only QA has the onsite opportunity for 1-2 months but not for developers(This is the biggest level of frustration any developer can get).

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
