Pros

They could pay decent (not sure about now, earlier they did), but other factors would override this

Cons

Would not suggest people going for customer facing roles from india - Customer Success/Services (particularly if backfilling an opp. in EMEA geo.] too much bias from european teams - very toxic in this regard lot of discrimination/bias flowing in from fellow European members if you're in customer facing teams no internal unity between global teams in front of a customer european teams unabashedly criticising/downplaying fellow indian member in front of customer no job security, no guidance in terms of growth - half of the time leadership is coming and leaving, no stability at all in terms of processes too you'll be left stranded without a manager for over an year and no one will care unstable org - they keep changing teams, can't decide the roles of teams they just hire blindfolded, and then fire at their convenience when they realise that this role can't be a fit in the current structure (on top of that, they just keep changing structures every now and then) they keep firing folks (senior+juniors) and don't even explain if it's due to org changes or performance (usually blame it on performance, because it's the easiest thing to do)

Hearing this from someone in Finance, where the work is demanding and the margin for error is small, genuinely means a lot. The fact that you're experiencing the culture as values-driven and not just values-stated is exactly what we're working hard to build. The pace is real and so is the opportunity, and we're glad that combination is landing as energizing rather than exhausting. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Pros

- good team members and peers in mid-senior management - flexible time off (sort of) - amazing product - great tools for building with AI

Cons

- burnout culture: "intensity" is a core value that plays out as burning people out, We've lost some good people over this. - when execs ask for feedback, and people are honest, they gaslight the folks giving feedback to minimize and dismiss the issues raised. - the week between Christmas and New Year's used to be company wide time off. Now it has to be approved by management. There were clearly some executives who wanted this to happen because they couldn't stand giving the whole team time off at once. See burnout comment above. - impulsive and reactive CEO. Fire drills every week that derail current projects. Downstream, we get harpooned by our direct C-level for not meeting deadlines. Other items have to be deprioritized in order to accommodate his urgent requests; there's no way around this.
