Opportunities to learn new technologies- AWS, Service Oriented Architecture etc. Usual tasks involve all the phases of Software Development Lifecycle, including designing, iterative development and testing. Developers are expected to take complete ownership of the projects they are woking on. Good perks and health benefits.

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.
