Need to negotiate well before joining

Senior quality engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good and there are no late night calls unlike other companies and this could be a team specific information.

Cons

Work politics plays a huge role in moving between positions in the company. This is not something they tell you until you join the company and its quite difficult to even apply for other positions in the same department without a proper reasoning. This restriction makes anyone feel stuck in growing personally and professionally which is already slow.

Overall, good place

Quality engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, your colleagues are genuinely nice people.

Cons

Culture depends on your team. Some managers are horrible. They say they will give you a salary based on current market rate, that's a LIE. You're underpaid, if your work is in cloud or web.
