Pros

You have to do everything yourself. Its almost like working in a start up.

Cons

They are so bloody frugal that a developer has to play the role of a PM, QA,SDE-T,build engineer and all others, which leaves no time for development.

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.
