Pros

Great team culture and work life balance. Pay is okay. Our product is exciting work but with unnecessary challenges.

Cons

Terrible micro managing from team leads and engineering managers. Decision making takes far too long for simple things that can be resolved with a quick conversation. We have some pretty technical team leads that sometimes forget their role should be people focused rather than trying to play engineering or architects they impaired product development more than enable the engineering team members from delivering good solid work.

Awesome work culture. You get to meet everyone from every team in the company. Every one are so helpful. Even the people from different teams will help you to achieve your tasks. Even the managers are so helpful. Perks: Wednesday Lunch, Friday Happy hours.

I haven't faced anything negative in the company.
