Pros

* Pretty easy work as a developer. Hours are totally reasonable. * They provided some offsite training related to one of the eCommerce platforms we built on * All-hands meetings were catered

Cons

Ultimately, if you want a career, you should look elsewhere. This isn't really a place for you if you're an engineer wanting to work on technically challenging projects for a management team that cares about your career development. The projects were pretty disorganized and I really had no idea what everyone was working on, as each engineer was siloed on the individual project/customer they were building solutions for. There was a lack of real collaboration there. The management didn't really engage with you, and frankly I don't really know what the CTO and CEO did at the company. I left after 9 months and joined an awesome startup, which put me in a steep career trajectory upward. It would have been a huge mistake had I stayed. One data point to consider: all the management at the company have been there for 7-8 years on average. Whereas the turnover for everyone else is really high. That kinda tells you how they treat people and their career growth

Pros

No reasons to work here even if the management makes it sound all fancy and big and easy going environment during the interview process

Cons

You are only a money making machine to them. They are not bothered about your career and aspirations. As long as you bill your work hours to the client, the management is fine with you, else you are a piece of crap to their eyes. The ideologies that they claim to run their company on, none of it is followed and the management who takes pride in believing in them, in reality, they are the most culprit of all They are cheaters, liars and will destroy all your goals and aspirations!

Pros

Nice creative space, laid back, Creative team is good

Cons

Dysfunctional Management who do not like each other. Nothing innovative for developers, they are simply implementing someone else's platform. The work environment often is outright disrespectful. Average benefits and weak bonuses.
