Pros

Was a great place to work before the layoffs happened.

Cons

Layoffs to compensate bad business choices. These layoffs result in constant change to roadmap and change in focus. No clear vision of project's trajectory. Biased managers with inclination towards their specific team for promotions and increments. No work life balance.

Pros

Great work life balance and people before sale and layoffs

Cons

The managers are not transparent to the employees at all. The upper management as well, pretended that nothing is wrong with the company's direction. When some of the higher ups quit "suddenly", all the managers pretended that none of ours jobs are under threat, lied right our faces, 2 months before we were fired with immediate effect. Not a single "look out for yourself" from the managers. We had no time to prepeare ourselves for the market that could not be any worse. Managers protected their jobs by kicking us out. People who have been working for 2 years or more were let go. Lot of us have been struggling since then to find a job in this market. There is absolutely no honesty towards employees. Managers kept their jobs by kicking us out. Period. Biased managers promote people who cant tell the difference if node js is a frontend or a backend framework. Less skilled and less technically sound people were promoted to manager/architect positions when technically sound people, who worked and contributed for more than 2 3 years were laid off. Managers are inclined towards their favorites despite lacking technical depth in work.

Pros

Chemelex is now a private equity owned company that doesn’t care about its employees and operates with nothing but bottom line profit. Under this ownership, there are no ‘pros’, especially their leadership.

Cons

Too many name. Prospective job hunters are advised to research very well, talk to former employees (there’s a lot of them!) and current employees confidentially.
