Pros

1) in some ways there is less bureaucracy than you would expect in a firm of this size

Cons

1) The imaging side of the Company runs on the simple principle of keeping the cost structure low. Their growth is entirely in Romania where they can get 3 engineers for the price of 1 in Silicon Valley . As a result, there is no career growth in their US offices unless you can help with patent trolling (their mainstay) 2) Company is running low of revenues - look at their stock price slide in the last 12 months. Revenues are also decelerating since the most companies in the mobile imaging ecosystem (one of their main markets) are getting vertically integrated. There is no differentiation that this company can provide. 3) Management is clueless on technology. They want quick results without the need to invest for growth. Management is a bunch of fat cats who travel business class even when the company goes through tough times... 4) Management does not listen enough to their employees. All decisions get made at the highest levels without sufficient due diligence. 5) Very poorly run company with limited future. 6) There seems to be little employee enthusiasm. On any given morning in their silicon valley office, there will be less than 10% of the offices occupied. Most people are traveling, on holiday, or 'working from home'. Seems like a cemetery... 7) Their mission statements about focusing on the customer is just words. The way they treat their customers is too shocking to believe. They place very little value on their commitments.

Pros

You'll be seeing the same pros, all over the reviews, nothing 'pro' about the actual work/product/growth and satisfaction. Great Work-Life Balance: -Most of the tasks are outright pathetic, not worth the effort/thinking. -Most of the tech stack is something one wouldn't want to touch with a stick. -Generic nonsense about cafeterias/other 'perks'. The Work: -Varies from team to team. -I managed to at least find exciting tasks/domains to explore and extract as much learning/knowledge I could from the masters in the domain. -Some teams/sub-teams do most of the heavy lifting while others just leech.

Cons

"Cons" -The whole org seems to be running a very long con. -Mergers after mergers, Renames/Rebrands -Sudden 'planned' team-wide layoffs/outsourcing, and then randomly re-joining the offshored team. Almost as if there is no actual planning happening. Additional Facts: -Hikes: The org did NOT pay out a hike for the 2020 fiscal year citing various excuses. This should be a RED flag enough if you are joining based off the MNC/Tech/Software labels. -Some people did get the hikes based on whatever criteria. -Lack of transparency, ethics and standards. -Politics galore -Company just had a Merger/Acquisition(s) and is still open to splitting itself and selling off it has 2 entities. Kindly upvote if you found this useful/caution worthy.
