Pros

1. If you are in Networking or related technologies, Versa is riding the SDN/NFV wave and is the in thing to be in. 2. Given that Versa is funded by tier 1 venture capitalists, people outside the company including prospects still give them the benefit of doubt 3. You can get away doing nothing in the company. The founders are scared of firing people as they may go out and tell the truth about the company to the outside world. 4. Versa may get acquired by Juniper Networks some day (that's what the founders tell you when you quit). There is 50% probability of that happening. If that happens, you may make so money (peanuts thrown by the founders at you).

Cons

1. Founders believe that they can do anything. You will get to work starting from the layer 2 till the layer 7 of the OSI stack. Just ask the founders, if they have, they will tell you that that they have from a switch to malware engine to something you couldn't fathom as well. 2. Absolutely zero focus on one thing. They want to build everything and anything. They truly believe that they are networking geniuses and if some one else has built it, they can too. 3. The famous saying that goes on with in the company is that the younger brother dreams about it on a particular day and the older one takes a stick to beat up engineers to do it. 4. It is very easy to please the founders. Ensure that you spend 14 hours at a minimum at office. Even if it means that you stare at the monitor for 14 hours doing nothing or just formatting code.
