Pros

- Customer Obsession - Startup Values - Agile Style - Invests into the future - Great business exposure

Cons

Following is all about the Bangalore Centre (may be different in other centres) - Poor employee respect and care - Artificially high standards of promoting employees - Management does not care about employees work life balance(in-fact folks promote working on the weekends) A lot of energy is spent in perception management. Employees in India have to keep proving and showing that they are as good as their US counterparts.

The food, people, and location where I interned were amazing.

Cons

Work seemed to stall many times, with much of my progress not being able to advance past certain points due to waiting on higher ups.

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.
