Pros

1) Just another Bangalore tech startup. Better quality work than Wipro, TCS, Infosys, etc in general. 2) CEO is really good and single handedly running the company.

Cons

1) No job security. 2) CTO/Cofounder is the most incompetent engineer/manager I have ever met. 3) Very weak financials, never made any profit, never will make any profit. Investor funding stops, then it's game over. 4) Head of Sales is just a pathetic human, people have quit on the stop for him calling them names and berating them.

Pros

- You get to work on production systems from the first week. The team cannot afford to waste any developer's time with busywork. - Can work with a wide array of tech. - The senior members of the team are highly competent and good at what they do. One can learn a lot just from observing how they work. - Good programming practices such as code reviews with actual constructive feedback. - Both frontend and backend teams have interesting challenges to solve. - Approachable senior management and overall a very helpful atmosphere. I never had to think twice before approaching even the founders or the head of engineering for something. - Employee friendly HR team. - The product itself is very well thought out and highly reviewed in the industry, with a deep product roadmap. - The head of engineering puts in a lot of effort to ensure that every developer gets to work on interesting stuff, and that things do not get monotonous for anyone.

Cons

No actual cons I can think of. One thing is that if someone wants to work full stack (without specializing in frontend or backend development), this might not be the place for it. Almost every developer specialized in either frontend or backend, since the engineering team has the belief that specialization breeds productivity (which is correct). This might have changed after I left. Sometimes developers might need to work on a particularly gnarly piece of legacy code, which can be quite difficult. However most of the code is quite easy to work with and extend, and regular refactoring effort is constantly improving the code quality.
