Pros
Remote work A few knowledgeable good colleagues are still around but probably interviewing.
Cons
The company used COVID as an excuse to cut salaries, benefits, bonuses, and reduce headcount. Although there was an announcement that everyone would be affected by the cut, some groups closer to the CEO still got their bonuses. When COVID started earlier this year, instead of supporting the employees, the CEO announced that the company would be laying off employees for an entire week, so everyone in the organization was expecting to lose their jobs. Everyone became stressed and tense during that week. No cuts affecting the C-level group during the pandemic were communicated to show that everyone had their share of sacrifices. The CEO commits too many communication mistakes and has a very self-centered approach to results instead of stimulating team collaboration and effort by highlighting it as critical for its achievements. "Global company, local resources" - You are expected to cover many timezones. Work-life balance? It is not part of SAI's core values. People are continually leaving SAI due to the terrible working conditions that reflect in knowledge not being retained. Usually, there are no bonuses but in the rare cases that you might receive one, it will be enough to buy two cappuccinos at Starbucks.

Pros
I enjoy the folks I work with (for the most part), and we all complain about the same things to each other. You will learn a lot here, but in the end, it's not worth your sanity.
Cons
- If you are someone that appreciates being valued and respected, this is really not the place for you and I urge you to look elsewhere. - Recruiters and interviewers will mislead you and the hiring process does not allow for any negotiation. - No work-life balance. I frequently work until 10 PM on projects due to workload intensity. - High-value projects are put on hold, and then suddenly start up again... and you are to blame for its failure. - Lean team operations with no budget to dedicate to the betterment of the organization. - Leadership doesn't understand the value of activities/software that have a high ROI because of the initial investment. - If you are a woman, you absolutely will be treated like a doormat. - Bully culture from the top - they expect you to work past your capacity but won't give you any help and then will take full credit for your work. - The CEO is a robot, who when asked about the culture told people to, "leave if you don't like it... culture is what you make of it". - CEO made an announcement about layoffs earlier on during COVID and left everyone hanging for a week. I remember that as the worst week of my life. No one has been the same since that massive bout of anxiety.
