Pros

If you are the type of people, who like to be treated like toilet paper, and who like the excitement of getting laid off at any random time, then you're going to love this place.

Cons

- Almost no salary increase for promotions (why even bother promoting) - Company does not care about the morale of their employees (They are even happy when people leave, so that they can meet their attrition rate goals) - Company does not care about health and safety of their employees. (During covid-19, employees were forced to go back to office, and they were even tracked with a cellphone) - Company does not care about customers (They are only after big 500 fortune companies) - Company will try to lay off as many employees as possible in order to save as much money as they can - Company will force their software engineers to switch and use the cheapest software products in the market (even if they are awful) just to save money. Even if it affects productivity and roadmaps. - CEO and higher management do not listen to any feedback to improve morale, and business productivity.
