Pros

- Excellent engineers - Manager himself is a solid technical person. He will help you in your tasks. - Home drops - Promotion happens on merit. Senior engineers are worth their position.

Cons

- Very fast paced life - If you have personal commitments which you cannot avoid, it will affect your work or vice versa. - Frugal. They offer a good salary and nothing more. The office is very spartan. - On-call! Every engineer experiences this. This will make you grow as an engineer. But sometimes you would rather not want it.

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.
