Pros

- Competitive salary, awesome perks and benefits - Good product and decent competition for their competitors - Global hackathon is a program to look forward to - It is a place to mint money.You can easily live your life cashing in while searching for a job elsewhere which really motivates you workwise - You learn to deal with fake people. It is a valuable life-lesson!

Cons

- Most of the policies are replica of other organizations - A distinctive bias can be seen towards certain departments - Lack of concrete career planning/growth opportunities. - Power play and politics very prevelant - Hiring practices are not convincing. Offer details were also never clear. - Core Values proclaimed in the company website was a mere eyewash - Low regional diversity. Survival in the company is based on your conversational skills in Hindi/Punjabi - Lack of planning. - Pretty slow paced for a start-up.

Pros

The product has some features which competitors don't have. There are so many things to improve that there isn't a lack of opportunities.

Cons

- Brown, Male, Indian is what the 90% employees look like. - Only 25% of the people are from good background and mentally sharp. - Culture is quite non-existent. - The design of most components is hollow - and not meant for scale. - Most features are good only for small deployments - eg most Rest APIs take > 10 seconds for medium deployments. - Most people are trapped with stock options which cost a lot - and IPO does not seem any time near. Leaving the company forces you to buy those options.
