Pros

Handsome salary if you negotiate well. Virtually unlimited leaves if you can balance well.

Cons

Unorganized and unplanned working style. Always crunch situations. No work life balance. No or very small increment. Not a place to learn as they will tell you before joining. Complete mess

Pros

One pro is that if you came in between August 2019-December 2019 you got way overpaid and probably were making more than your superiors. Remote work is another pro but your time is spent your target clientele which are in less than desirable hotel/motel properties.

Cons

Company has no values throughout all levels of leadership. They promise and don't deliver. They can't plan to scale when they enter new markets and operate under chaos at all times. Constantly under pressure from all investors who gave them too much money to begin with. They have done multiple rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months alone globally then they promise current staff that's all that is coming and it's a "new day". No one knows what is going on, there is no central command, no corporate norms. People who are hired weren't capable for their roles so you have inexperience staff in roles managing teams they can't handle. Another issue is nepotism, if you can even call it that, it's basically all Indian leadership and that culture bleeds into the US base. It doesn't mesh well with how proper business is done. That's why they're under investigation in other countries by government officials and at some point will be here in the US too. You will barely be able to sell anything as well. The product changes from week to week and they renig on contracts or don't pay their partners on the regular. Most hotels in the US are Indian owned so the word spreads like wild fire as soon as they back out on commitments or when one partner gets a deal and another one doesn't. Their main excuse is that they're a "startup". They aren't. They've been around since 2013, they're just new to the US and can't make it work here so they say "Well we're a startup..."

Pros

- ESOP's if you are lucky. - You will get to know the business deeply.

Cons

- Business tells what to do and engineering does it. No questions asked. - Tech organization works as tech support. - There are no senior engineers. Architecture is poor and driven by SDE2's. - Frequent outages and fire fighting. - Very Very Poor Management. All the good managers have left or are leaving. - No processes. No culture. Everything is done randomly. - No data driven performance reviews.
