Pros

Pay is comparable to Faang companies.

Cons

Downsizing "senior engineering leaders" and "product leaders" in India team. If you join India team you will hardly get promoted to next level after senior Manager level. When I last left there were only 3 seniors having level of director or above from tech team and all the senior product leaders were actively looking out because they was a huge layoffs of product teams in the previous year. You can go through the linkedin job openings and I bet you'll not find a single senior level opening and this has been the trend in last 1.5 years. Note: Refrained myself from giving this review for more than a year but after speaking to multiple ex-collegues currently working in the company and the ones left the company in last 6 months I am compelled to write the most honest review

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.
