Pros

Great team, great people, very smart folks. Good perks, good salary and people recognize hard work. Love my manager and the flexible timings as long as work gets done.

Cons

C-level folks need more alignment and strategy. Focus is very split and product roadmap is non existent. But I see that this has been recognized, and attempts are being made to change that. Now we wait and see if this can be delivered.

Pros

Best part is the work environment; there is lot of work which is a good thing but cant really complain. Everybody is cool with their attitude toward work and getting the best out of everyone. Perks are awesome! Car share, bikes, subsidized food(very good food), train pass, shuttle services, beer and free food every alternate week and the list goes on. Most of the Engineers are very knowledgeable and they are always very excited about the product and so am I !

Cons

Some very good brains both at engineer level and at management. I believe its an opportunity for new people to chime in and learn and excel.

Pros

A great place to work. Some of the smartest people I've had the chance to work with solving some really interesting problems. Lots of opportunity for growth as the company grows quickly.

Cons

The company is growing extremely fast. While this is exciting, it can be a challenge getting everyone up to speed and feeling like part of the culture. Communication and process have also been challenging as we go through some of the typical growing pains of being a former startup and hiring quickly.
