Not for me

Senior client specialist

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great cafe and great people to work with

Cons

culture encourages people to step all over one another to advance. Does not give off a team friendly vibe. Everyone is out for their own career and not worried who they have to step over to advance.

Decent Benefits, but you are a number, nor a person

Staff engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits and stock plans

Cons

you are just a number who needs to work in the office. Pay raises are few and far between. It's an IT company, not a software company, expect to conform to rigid IT rules

Product is nearing maturity, folks are leaving

Senior project manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Compassionate & empathetic place. Good senior leaders & amenities.

Cons

Little growth internally. Record profits don't trickle down. The product is nearing maturity, and the senior team does not evangelize change. All hiring is coming from Pune.
