      Pros

      Good technical problems to solve. Stock Price has grown well so equity grants are doing very well.

      Cons

      Promotion processes can be harsh on Employee's with random decisions at times. Technical bar of employees across the company is on the downward trend. Not the best compensation & perks. Companies like Google, Facebook and M$ provide much better compensation & employee benefits.

      Learn and Be Curious at its best

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Provide you the platform to innovate. 2. Still startup culture that allows you to innovate. 3. Pressure to innovate but not to keep doing manual tasks. 4. Work hour flexibility.

      Cons

      I am privileged to work with some of the best leadership in my career so I do not have any cons. Only cons I can think of is that as there are so many custom tools and processes, it gets harder for a new hire to understand eco-system easily.

      Good opportunities and lots of learning

      Software development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Independent and end to end ownership to a team for given tech solution. There isn't much bureaucracy even with large organization size. It's pretty much like running like startups with advantage of big organization. Leadership principles take care of day-to-day noise that one would face otherwise. They provide common ground and yet encourage discordant views. One does learn a lot everyday with diverse and smart team mates following peculiar organization culture.

      Cons

      The distributed service oriented architecture is two edge sword. One team can fast pace being independent and yet stuck on other's dependency if the priorities of them do no align. There is concept of away team work but it does come with a price.
