Browserstack culture

Hi guys, Currently I am in a semi-toxic state in my current job and exploring browserstack as the new option. Have seen the reviews of Browserstack in this community. Very negative I know. But can someone share the latest status?

Would I be shooting myself in the foot by joining them?

I'm ex Bstack. Things are bad & getting worse. The oldies or OGs (internal for old timers) are only getting promoted. New ones are either put through a grind and the best ones are kept & rest are fired. Sinking ship!

Look for better options, Bstack wont be my 1st pref for WLB as the design team is constantly working on new projects and hence there is a fair amount of over working that may be required. Plus all design reviews go through founder approvals so there could be rework , redesign or even start from scratch.

Upside : Great minds in the design team , good products that are in the works Downside : founders still making decisions in minor impact areas , frustrated workforce , lots of senior level exits in the last 6 months leading to lots of tension within teams.

Almost all companies are like this, better to learn this skill to cope up or have thick skin

They rescinded the offer with nothing on text. Refused a mail mentioning it.

offers can be rescinded by a company and you feel helpless. cant even sue them or hold them accountable. did they revoke it after extending a formal offer or was it an expression of interest?
