Pros

worked with some nice knowledgeable people

Cons

company is very cheap on everything. First time I saw company 401K match has a vesting period. When I quit they took away all the unvested money from my 401k. The signing bonus is not prorated. The product I had to support was of bad quality and high maintenance. Lots of work for little money.

Pros

I joined the company straight out of college and as a junior member, I was actively encouraged to ideate, explore, and brainstorm solutions. The team is highly supportive of this, and this was a standout aspect for me. I had a great team and a fun work environment. There's a great synergy among colleagues, especially amongst the junior members, and a strong willingness to assist one another. During the initial years, particularly as a fresher, I had a great learning experience. This included mastering problem-solving, thinking “parallel” and utilizing the company's distributed computing framework. The managers and the director are consistently supportive, and hard work is duly recognized and rewarded. If I recall correctly, at the time I was with the team, almost half of the employees had been part of the team for for nearly a decade. This truly speaks to the strength of the team culture The pay was decent at the time I was with the company.

Cons

For fast learners, a few years into the job, one might notice a leveling off of the learning curve. However, this appears to be a common pattern across many companies. The team, however, is proactively addressing this issue by providing access to a variety of external resources like LinkedIn Learning and organizing regular sessions with guest lecturers.
