      Pros

      1. Challenging Healthcare Products. 2. Opportunity for grow with Products 3. Many employee benefits and perks.

      Cons

      1. Not a product mindset, broader vision of success- NIL, immature and very risky work culture. 2. Very unsafe place to join and survive for experienced people. Hire/Fire/Re-structure is in culture. 3. Not a reliable place to join if you have family, home loan, education loan, growing kids or any other liability. BE CAREFUL. 4. Indecisive people managers, have no respect for others.

      Thank you for saying a few words about the 3+ years you've worked for our company in Bangalore as Principal Software Architect. We're glad to hear that you were happy with the benefits that were being provided, but it's regrettable that there are several things you'd like to see changed within your former department. Your feedback and the feedback we receive from other (former) employees is very valuable to us and help us to improve as employer. It has been duly noted. We hope that you've already found (or will soon find) another position, one that is fully to your liking. Thank you again for leaving your review here and all the best in your future endeavors!

      Pros

      - Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

      Cons

      - The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
