Pros

very flexible and allows you to try new things and develop. Great place to learn new skills. Awesome CEO ( Sanjiva)

Cons

I worked in the Colombo office. Horrible HR team... worst I have ever seen. Too much corporate politics by mid and senior management. It is like they feel insecure and does not allow anyone else to grow and shine. The sad reality is that HR also gets involved in the corporate politics.

Solid OSS technology. Widely adopted. Amazing collaborative culture.

Cons

While the tech is widely adopted the brand recognition does not reflect it.

Pros

Cultivates a highly collaborative environment surrounded by exceptional technical talent. Employees enjoy genuine autonomy and the flexibility needed to own their work-life balance on a day-to-day basis.

Cons

Since the acquisition, strategic focus has pivoted toward short-term cost optimization at the expense of long-term vision. This is most evident in recent layoffs that eliminated critical, highly technical talent that will be incredibly difficult and expensive to replace.
