No work life balance

Senior software engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

No lay offs, easy quiet work

Cons

Absolutely no life work balance. All people are worried about is to stay green on the dashboard. If you are sick you are forced to come in and spread the germs to your colleagues while senior management is rarely in the office. The work is very boring. It is basically a bank. Old dudes who have the luxury of working from home are gaslighting H1B workers into be full time in office and be happy about it.

Bad toxic corp

Senior analyst

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Sponsorship (which is not provided anymore) 25d annual leave

Cons

Bad company culture. Toxic, workplace bully and hr&tl is doing nothing for help. 5days on site. Management level is snob.Low salary, no future. Small firm just bragging all around. No recommend at all. 4 Ppl(including me) left the company on the same day and we were just desperate to run away from there. And another person left in 3days after that. Imagine it
