Pros

You will make use of your skills at work and will learn something.

Cons

Well I am the employee who was back stabbed by the Executive team at Lithium. The clause was well documented on the contract but they failed to honor what was written. When asked why they could not hold their end, all I was told is its not my decision. Its so surprising that they filed my H1 on April 1st and when it got picked on May4th they started the process to cancel it. Can any of the e-team members explain what was the rationale behind filing it in April for it to be revoked a month later? CEO of this company announced that Lithium would bring me back to US, in all hands meeting on Feb 20th and got credit for how things were handled with my relocation. And later when I reached out to him asking to honor the contract, he literally turned a blind eye towards me and eventually my H1 was revoked shattering my career and personal life. I strongly DO NOT recommend anyone joining this company. Best example for bait and switch. When they had to relocate me they chose the cheapest location so that they can get the same work done at a different location at a low price. I wanted the entire company to know about hypocrisy and double standards followed by the e staff here. They shamelessly deleted the email from everyone's mailbox before they could read it. Lithium, is this the transparency you boast off on your company's website? They claim honest, transparency, no bs on their website but all they stand for is hypocrisy, double standards and bs attitude towards employees. The head of the offsite location even threatened me with legal action if I spoke about this in the tech community. I wish I did not work for this company.

Pros

The company is coming into its own in the last 12 months. It progressed from bring a startup culture, very driven by revenue and key customers and partnership, to one that's driven by market strategy and social expertise. This is mostly the result of hiring the right strategist and the strong focus on IPO.

Cons

The flip side to everything listed in the Pros is that the bulk of those defining the strategy have little clue about social engagement and how this company can use its market advantage to win in the market, as well as be a true technology leader. The upper management don't even use the product besides blogging at the company's own community site or those of key partners. Except for the recent chief product hire, the upper management knows little about the product or technology and are all about flashy talk and presentation. Aren't we at the age where you have to be technical to lead a technology company? Requiring all staff, especially engineers to always be working from the office only leads to productivity drain. It is oblivious to the old school upper management that engineers have a choice and are pursued aggressively - holding them to such a requirement, on top of the long work hours, will not help you retain any talent.
