Pros

Reasonable pay - Not the best in industry. But definitely reasonable. NB: Paying salary doesn't mean that we are expected to work 24 hrs a day with zero planning and absolute ambiquity

Cons

1. No vision from management especially the CEO is a mess. He don't even have an idea on how to run a single medium size project. Wondering how the company is surviving. Only reason I can see is the dedicated workforce. 2. Micro management at its best. Employees will be scrutinized even if we are away for 1 hr due to any emergency. Doesn't matter how well we complete the assigned tasks 3. Excessive workload. Company is running multi million dollar projects with 2 or 3 engineers. Employees will have to get prior permission to take off during weekends. 4. No career development - The management doesn't even know the meaning of the term career development. There is a zero opportunity for career development especially if you are on a mid senior level. 5. Ambiguous roles and responsibilities - The JD in your offer letter is just hypothetical. There is no relation between the job offered and the job assigned 6. Ever changing priorities - The priorities are changing every now and then. 7. Zero planning - Planning is minimal or non realistic and is always based on some hypothetical assumptions with doesn't happen 100% of the times. Advice to the candidates: You can join the company only if you are willing to dedicate your entore life for the company. If you have a family or if you expect a work life balance, Diagnal is definitely not a place for you. CEO will give unrealistic promises and fancy positions to attract candidates from good companies. I was also fooled by these offers.

Pros

No concern in giving you the best pay in industry No politics All are very friendly and helping each other from CTO, HR, finance team.. Hike in every year is outstanding Provides MacBook for every resources No leave policy, if you have genuine reason, you can have any number of paid leaves. CTO is best in evaluating each individual and guiding them to perform better. They have complete trust on their employees. HR team was the best, I have ever seen. They support the employees as much as they can. A company with lot of ethical values. Knowledgeable CTO & well renowned CEO in OTT, this combination will never let the company to run out of projects. Company is never hesitant to try the emerging technologies. Fun at work as the company is dealing with media industry You ll get to work with the best talents in industry.

Cons

There is nothing i could remember.
