Pros

Quality of work is good, it is very fast growing changing environment so lots of opportunity to grow and learn new things. Good compensation, they give exactly what they promise on offer letter. No hidden charges.

Cons

Frugality misplaced. We spend more in areas we should not and save in areas we should not. Employee goodwill and loyalty is compromised as a result.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
