Pros

Lot's of projects to keep busy. Can learn a lot of you don't have much experience or are a new grad.

Cons

- Complete lack of management. Upper management doesn't care about the employees at all. - The company is small so big clients dictate deadlines and features, so basically as an engineer you become a support engineer for a large client. - The product is way too complicated which causes way too many technical issues. As a result on-call rotation is brutal. - The company is building products but there is no PM anymore. They all left. - Pay is very low, especially if you have a few years of experience. - Many micromanagers. People will ping you at any time throughout the day, even after 9-10 pm, and expect you to reply. - Firing culture, even if you're on H1B. - No company culture. - Exec team doesn't know how to run a business. - Poor project management. Always very tight deadlines that come out of nowhere, which causes engineering to hack things together all the time. - Workload can be very high at times. - Some VPs are straight up frauds...

Pros

- Ability to perform duties remotely - Nice Laptop

Cons

- Although it is an American company, many people in the company only speak Mandarin with very little English including people at management. Most of the company's documentation needs to be translated from Mandarin to English - Uncompetitive pay - Poor work-life balance, there is an expectation that you are on call at all times and frequently work weekends. - The CTO is not open to suggestions for improvement, and the tech stack and architecture are very outdated. Most of the code is still written in Java 8, there are broken dependencies, and every process appears to be manual and error-prone including their deployment process. - The technical debt they took on is huge, almost daily, there were several oncall tickets to fix issues within production and an incredible backlog of issues in the system that they ignore. - Employee satisfaction and morale is super low. The turnover rate is super high, they churn out employees and they don't care. The long-term employees who are visa sponsored will not speak out because they fear losing their sponsorship.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits Very smart people work(ed) here

Cons

Don't let the good reviews fool you. The overall rating is severely skewed by the staged, artificial ones left during the inception of this company. Leadership has no idea what they're doing and they treat their employees very poorly. That works top to bottom as management is also terrible as well. Many of times, VPs throw their own teammates under the bus. Many managers, engineers, and specialists are typically very smart and very nice, however, the people leading these smart cookies are dumb as rocks. The culture is nothing like other Silicon Valley startups. Don't come here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and I appreciate your favorable feedback on the company pay and benefits. On culture and leadership, sometimes a misunderstanding happens. However, there are many different leadership styles, we are cognizant of this as our culture evolves.
