Pros

Challenging assignments and good learning experience.

Cons

1) Unrealistic deadlines which mandates working over time on a regular basis and takes time away from life. 2) Not at all a company for families with kids. 3) Working long hours and taking sick days to cope up with the sickness and stress is a routine here.

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.
