Pros

Ability to work on the latest network and app technologies of the internet. Good freedom of how to work ... Can start late if you have some chores to finish. If tough problems interest you ..you will surely get a few. Ownership of work .. Casual atmosphere at work .. With peers and managers. Good pay w.r.t Kolkata but that alone.

Cons

Dont expect bonuses .... Getting lesser every year. Very clear downward difference from Bangalore salaries... Comparing with peers in similar companies in Bangalore can sometimes cause heartburn.Need to accept that and get on with it. Too much of emphasis on big bang demoes . tools . cool sounding names and next gen architectures not of much use to Ixia making money ... But much of that is quite interesting as well. Not much appreciation of deep technical stuff ... Need to create your own world of zen to not worry about it. Fair amount of sometimes very stupid Indian politics but can be safely ignored.

Pros

Have worked with great folks in a few sites that do work and play hard - like what they do, share well, open. Most managers seem to really want to work hard and share the success. Pay is good. Relaxed environment. New CEO in late 2014 looks good and will see what shapes up. Communication has gotten better. Some nice benefits in lunch perks, free soda's but many other companies are doing more perks in hi-tech.

Cons

2014 was a mess of a year for the company. One CEO ousted, interim CEO and then new CEO. Layoffs summer of 2014. Losing good folks to other hi-tech opportunities over past months. We are in a interesting niche field but many others looking to get in and play. 2015 will be a make or break year so I would wait a year to see how things go. Some reviews here mention negative reviews by folks that have been laid off but those that I knew that were laid off got good new jobs and are happy where they are now.
