Pros

Good stock options that vest if you survive for more than 2 years Cab pick up and drop to office from home for a nominal cost Joining bonus that can bump up your CTC but only for the first 2 years, after that your salary will get a slump unless you get an extraordinary hike

Cons

Heavy workload, everyone expected to handle 10 things in one hand Fewer morale events, very cost conscious in spending for team outings/lunch Too many opinionated people and a lot of work gets stuck because of endless discussions where each one tries to insist on his stand

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.
