Pros

I have been working at News Break for almost one year as a full-time. It is growing fast; has a lot of opportunities. As an engineer, I got the chance to work on quite some products. It is a great place for engineers who wants to build a solid skill set. You will work with great colleagues, who used to be the top performers in other companies and joined News Break later. They work in a start-up style: move fast, responsive, friendly, proficient in his/her area. Most rewarding career experience so far for me.

Cons

Standard pains that come with a rapidly growing company.

Pros

I've worked for numerous large, public tech companies as well as early startups and News Break is THE most open, collaborative, and growth-focused company. My coworkers are humble, supportive, always available to help (or point to the right direction), and communicate clearly and efficiently. Managers are transparent and set clear visions for what we want to be in the industry. Most importantly, the company's fundamental culture is about growth - learning through experimentation, research, and staying agile.

Cons

Timezone challenges working/coordinating with teams internationally
