Pros

Innovative softwares. Openness. Small company, room for growth.

Cons

Look elseware if you are applying for a job. Very lengthy inerwiew process. No CV is kind of a gimmick. They don't evaluate well. You may be lucky if you get through or else you will not be given job on the basis of something not even discussed in the interviews. Some bosses are old school and egoist. Doesn't fit into a company with new kind of policies.

Pros

The folks here are really great to work with. You can feel the energy without being onsite. Everyone loves the company and the value that we bring to our customers. The perks are good. The benefits are good. The pay is good. I had a great manager and skip-level manager. Met with me often and gave me clear objectives. There was no ambiguity.

Cons

I dont think I was here long enough to find any cons.

Pros

Good work life balance. Generally friendly people. Solid initial pay, though don't expect any raises. Good benefits.

Cons

Became extremely political after prior leadership transitions. Flatness of the company structure completely dissipated. Management plays favorites. Very Machiavellian now - management will cut employees at a moments notice. Culture has totally shifted, though still some residual positivity from those still left prior to the leadership change. No internal opportunities for growth, no internal pay raises. People will take credit for your work to make themselves look better.
