Pros

Compensation is competitive. My manager is really understanding and supportive

Cons

There is a lot of work always. No worklife balance. Constant pressure of being pipped. Since everyone is in constant pressure of being pipped, people end up putting in 120 % of effort. Eventually one who puts in 105 % efforts is pipped. So the effort margin and pressure constantly keeps on increasing

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.
