Pros

I have made some very close friends there. Viru , the CEO, himself has his heart in the right place. You can have however many disagreements with him, but he never lets that affect the fondness he has for team members. One thing unique about Verse is its HR. I have that at most companies, HR function has no power, and top down approach governs the company culture. But I was really impressed by HR led by Bhupi - they are empowered to help employees, no matter what. They stand by you in tough situations. Both my parents had health issues during my time at Verse.. HR + Admin.. in fact full team in product were very forthcoming in whatever help they could extend. Viru himself said, "he would pray for my father's health". Such sweet people. This was my first product management job. I must say that I have great fondness for the product and problems we solved there. I still talk very confidently and vividly of my experiences there. There was so much to learn. Product was complex. Work life balance was also awesome. Rarely we were bothered on weekend.

Cons

There are issues everywhere. Looking back, I think being forthcoming and proactive helps. Clearly knowing what one wants out of job, and clearly communicating the needs help in long way.
