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.
