Pros

Nice teammates until they get laid off.

Cons

Bad management and terrible culture. My manager didn't even bother to talk to me for over a year. He only valued team leads and everyone else was expendable. Also the big companies are slowly moving away from the business which really hurts the revenue. I had a feeling I wouldn't be getting a raise in a long time. I actually asked for a raise before I left and found out my manager doesn't like when people ask for raises. I'm at a place now where I'm valued and appreciated. The culture is way more positive. When I said I came from SE2/Zinnia, their response was... "oh I'm so sorry."

Pros

They drive you hard and you learn a lot. Most of these reviews seem like theyve been listed by people who are afraid to put the time in to learn, or gave in under the pressure.

Cons

Learning curve is a bit high, but through conversations with employees you learn a lot.

Pros

Previous CTO was the only pro. And food they get during events

Cons

Office is full of indians, body shopped here. Lack etiquettes. Directors are all Indians with no respect for their reports. Expectations are in the sky while ground reality hits hard and affects customer deliverables. Directors often scape goat their reports while just delegating everything and expecting just nonsense unrealistic goals. Customers now building their own software to avoid the mess here. Only reason they are surviving is because they were early in the game.
