Pros

- Good Food - Good Pay (6 digits to start with) - Beautiful Campus - Domain is good and has a genuine mission - Deveopers get to manage their on project which ic both good/bad - gets to travel occarionaly which great - 5 year sabattical

Cons

I had given a 5 star rating after 5 months of working here. But after 1 year and 10 months my views have changed badly. The codebase literally sucks. You have to maneuver around large chunks of badly written. IAny attempts to write cleaner well factored code might be looked down upon. I had a 10+ year experienced eveloper literally rewrite my function to the way he wants (single large chunk of code) in code review. - You spent 10 mins of time writing code, you need to perform 2 hours of testing. The code is so inter related and can break any time resulting in QANs. A small company wide initiative would go a long way into making cleaner code. - Bad Leave policies. - not much scope of growth. Rather not transparent. too much rests in the hands of your TL. - you dont know what you are rated on . - dont expect 40 hr job. You will end up spending 60 or more hours most weeks - They have developed some very complicated processes over the years. - Its hard to get a development out of the doors.
