Pros

The only redeeming quality of this place is the rank-and-file employees. The team level camaraderie is great because everyone is trauma-bonded from dealing with the exact same internal chaos every day.

Cons

Upper management has absolutely no clear direction. They constantly move the goalposts on performance metrics without warning, and instead of supporting you, they just resort to micromanagement and blame-shifting. There is a massive disconnect between local leadership and global expectations. If you value getting paid accurately and on time, look elsewhere. Discrepancies in night differentials, overtime pay, and basic salary calculations happen constantly. When you raise a dispute, it enters a black hole. It takes weeks, sometimes months, just to get a straight answer about your own money. The HR department here is essentially a ghost town unless they are onboarding new batch hires. They do not advocate for the employees at all. If you go to them with a legitimate grievance about management behavior or payroll errors, they will either ignore your tickets or give you generic, automated responses to shield leadership.

Pros

The frontend engineering culture didn't exist before our team built it. Establishing modern stack practices (React, Vue, TypeScript) and bringing rigor to the frontend was genuinely rewarding work. Talented engineers and strong peer-level collaboration. Real technical ownership when projects actually moved forward. Decent benefits and remote flexibility until they started taking remote away.

Cons

Despite the company being profitable, there were layoffs nearly every quarter, which made it impossible to plan or feel stable. Leadership was consistently disorganized. Stakeholder alignment was a constant problem and decisions took far too long to land. A lot of projects never launched, not because of execution issues, but because leadership couldn't get the right people in the room or commit to a direction. Constant churn at the leadership and org level created whiplash on priorities.
