Cons
How can a company have zero cons on this review platform? - While the company promotes work-life balance, it’s common to feel highly drained by the end of the workday, leaving little energy for personal time. Individuals with family commitments may find it challenging to meet the expectations set by unmarried or childless team leads/individual contributors, who often work long hours. - Initially, new hires might receive attractive salary packages, but over time, leads may introduce terms like "pay parity" or raise expectations unexpectedly. It's not unusual to find that performance goals appear to be generated from Chat GPT without much consideration for individual contributions. - Even in a remote work setting, managing personal responsibilities, like caring for children or handling errands, can be challenging during work hours. This is way stricter than an actual office. - There is a disparity in how mistakes are addressed. For instance, some senior team members may receive leniency for significant errors (querying the entire database from hibernate query by an engineer with 10+ years of experience - how can that experienced engineer miss this?), while those outside the favoured circles face scrutiny for minor issues. This creates a sense of favouritism within the team. - It’s noticeable that employee turnover is higher here than in other companies. Many long-term employees (with one company for ~10 years) have left within a year, often due to increased pressure and frustration. - Despite the emphasis on quality and short release cycles, new hires may encounter numerous unresolved (tens of) defects upon starting. Lower-level employees often appear to be expected to address these bugs, even when they stem from code written by higher-ups/favourites. Higher-ups get a pass for fixing bugs because they are "enabling". Even if you ignore this review, look at the high attrition rate, and you will be able to guess the underlying issues within the company culture. Many employees have resigned out of frustration, sometimes without securing new positions, indicating a significant organisational problem. A chosen few spin fairy tales on LinkedIn.
