      Pros

      We're getting a lot of attention from big companies. People are making their numbers in a few months. Customers gush over the service and products. We are supporting mission critical services for millions of users, and customers keep growing on us. It's like a we have a magic potion for customers or something. They can't get enough of it. This is not a place to come in and have a "couple" quarters to "get ramped up." You either sink or swim - very quickly. One guy was blown out in 3 months for not being up to the standard. They choose the very best and then pay them like investment bankers. But you will also work like an investment banker.

      Cons

      Not that this is a huge con bit it is difficult to get a job here. I've put in a bunch of really quality people whom I've seen exceed their numbers, and they have all been rejected... mgmt. has made a couple mistake hires in the past (just look at the few negative GlassDoor reviews-those are people who got blown out of here against their will) and they want to make sure the candidate is really the best there is. We are getting them too.

      Pros

      - founding team is great. easy to access, very talented - like the company culture - everyone is open minded and there are no barriers across leadership or otherwise - working with very smart engineers - things move fast, we are always working on near term deadlines and building things that ship to customers rapidly - the company seems to be in early stages of building what can become a very successful platform and business model - employee feedback seems to be taken seriously. there are open hands and company Q and A sessions (new) that are a good portal for expressing opinions and asking questions of any kind for every employee

      Cons

      - the sales side of the office does not have good cellphone connectivity and seems a bit disconnected from the main office

      Great people, but lack of proper goal setting and management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Startup culture 2. No hierarchy in terms of being open for communication (to skip level manager and VPs) 3. Working on latest technologies and tools for development 4. Large customer base and CEOs and higher management are 100% in for the company 5. Product idea is good and evolving, moving towards making it open source and adaptive 6. Proper support from other teams like devops, build and UI engineers who are experienced and proficient in their field 7. Being open to questions asked about any part of the product with critical debate and observability with quarterly all-hands meetings 8. Flexible timings and options to work in different teams 9. Outings and team lunches with both US and India team - higher management is very cheerful and supportive to employees 10. Supportive management when it comes to personal and professional development - which is a great learning to take here.

      Cons

      1. Lack of proper communication between managers and employees regarding expectations to be met and efforts to be made in order to improve 2. Developers sometimes feel too holed up inside their cocoon when it comes to imparting knowledge, where timely communication and documentation is pivotal 3. Micromanagement in India team where the focus is on finding faults with an employee and having unrealistic expectations, harassing them to an extent where they opt for a shift 4. Comparison of performance with other freshers and interns who are working on a different area of the product 5. Rigidity in terms of architecture - the focus seems to be more backwards than forward when it comes to Openstack components which have no real reason to be coupled with Kubernetes. 6. Technical debt caused due to senior developers moving on to different opportunities leaving freshers to fend off for themselves and clear JIRAs instead of focusing on the process 7. Salary review cycles are very sporadic and do not take the employee in consideration 8. Lack of cohesion between the India and US team - earlier there used to be fortnightly meetings but that vanished later. 9. Lack of initiative from employees when it comes to areas outside of work, still having virtual happy hours when something can be easily arranged face-to-face 10. Improper process when it comes to goal setting when you join as a fresher, where what is expected of you remains a grey area until 4-5 months and then suddenly there is a decision made that your performance is not up to the mark 11. Members of the Support team are extremely rude when talking to members of the Engineering team and have the expectation that their issue should be immediately resolved without considering that the developer also has other action items on their plate 12. Majority of freshers and interns are very closeted having lack of curiosity apart from their work 13. Lack of trust placed on an employee and snatching their work abruptly when things don't work out If you don't like this my advice would be to not join here because this happens on a frequent basis
