Pros
1. Fast pace company. With lesser processes that slow down work. 2. The average age of the company must be in 20s. So work becomes fun. 3. Office Lunch. 4. Not extreme work pressure. Work pressure is fair, at times things need to be done urgently. 5. Well, spend, team outings.
Cons
1. In house promoted management. Almost all teams have directors, who once joined as interns when PubMatic was a startup and made it to high positions in just about 10years. No outside world exposure. Most have frog-of-the-well mentality with no ability to think outside office politics. Expecting managers being interested in your career development will be lofty thoughts. 2. Don't be surprised to see a 6-7 yrs experienced person as manager. Crappy team vision is inevitable. 3. HR is frugal. With sudden awful policies like - -> not celebrating birthdays of people on notice period. Save money on gift cards. -> Eat away peoples tenure award money, just because they are on notice period. (mind you these rules were not there when tenure awards or Birthday celebration policies were declared.)
