Pros

Good CEO, company cares about the employees. summer/winter celebrations. Free cookies, breakfast. You need to be in the right team to have a good work life balance.

Cons

Company does not hire managers from outside, they just promote candidates to mangerial level. They just don't know how to manage their reportees. Very few people managers are good at their job. Release engineers are jokers in the company. Managers just hire fresh graduates who does not know any thing about the position and make them just act as Quality Analyst. No career path. Crazy work hours is a norm in the team. So called Mangers think they know everything and they just don't care about the people under them.
