Pros

1. Excellent management at Dhaka office 2. Flexible work hour and leave policy 3. Unlimited and awesome food & transport facilities 4. Napping area, gaming areas are awesome 5. The company culture and moral values

Cons

Job insecurity is the only con here. Recently two of my colleagues get sacked. The layoff is happening a lot in Bangladesh and also in other countries and without proper transparency and information, it’s frightening and alarming. We just get a prior call and there we get a list of people terminated and no one cares to tell the exact reasoning.

We understand that organizational changes can deeply affect our team members, and we do not take these decisions lightly. Sometimes, due to shifts in strategy, evolving skill requirements, or financial adjustments, certain roles may no longer be needed. These moments are never easy, but we approach them with great care, empathy, and respect for those impacted. It's important to note that less than 2% of our workforce was affected, and we remain committed to supporting them through this transition.
