Pros

Great opportunities inside the company for learning.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Managers just want to get their work done and they are liars. Even if you get the highest possible ranking in the annual reviews, the annual hike that you will get will just make you cry. The managers will blame it on the HR's and the HR's will blame it on the system. It's not worth it to work here for more than a couple of years. The only benefits you get is a tiny bus pass and a 100$ per year discount. Nothing else. The shares that vest after two years of your joining is just a way to make you stay in the organization. At the end of the day, shares won't pay your rent.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
