Poor management, lack of vision

Business Outlook

Pros

- good pay - good team - fully remote - for meetup they will pay accommodation and travel - latest technologies used

Cons

- Ineffective management - Lack of job security with frequent layoffs - Constant policy changes every quarter, meaning promises made in the offer letter can be altered at any time. Recently, performance bonus rules were revised, leaving employees frustrated. - Job roles haven't been backfilled for years, leading to increased workloads when someone leaves. - DevOps tasks are being assigned to developers and QA engineers. - The tech support staff has been reduced, forcing developers and QA teams to take on those responsibilities. - It's impossible to decline these tasks, as concerns are ignored, leading to significant frustration.

Pros

I started my full time career with this company. I had the chance to work with best managers with latest tech stack and great teams who like collaboration. The benefits provided are great too.

Every 6 months expect a change either in company strategy or product strategy. Hopefully this gets stable in future.
