Pros

Very innovative, Great team work, Work from Home, Great salary, Only good performers on your team. I loved working here, I learnt a ton in a very short time period, I am the type of person that likes to be challenged and given aggressive goals. The culture here is that everyone succeeds as a team, evryone has the same clear cut expectations and there are regular checkins and reviews of the process what is working, is not, and they are very open to change and progress to improve. It is not always an easy job, but it keeps things exciting. Plus you can entirely work your own hours as long as you get you tasks done within the timeline. I often work for a few hours in the morning and take a break to do what I want in the afternoon and work the rest in the evening, or take half a day off and make it up on the weekend.

Cons

some pressure, can be learning curve, high expectations. One of the things I love about this company is that I am on a team with a bunch of talented people who I can confidently pass a task to and know they will get it done. The downside of this for some people is that low performers don't last. You aren't expected to be perfect, but continuously not delivering and bad communication about why will not be accepted. If you are not a good performer or are a very slow learner, this company is probably not for you.

Pros

Each week I'm working on specs for different products, businesses and tech stacks. Always interesting and always new. Never have to think about cost or business factors when making decisions. I'm coached to always look for the simplest technical solution. This is liberating and and allows for clear focus.

Cons

Tough to move up to the next level. Everyone on the team is super talented which makes it difficult to stand out.

Pros

Best practices in software industry like SCRUM, Build Processes, Code Reviews, Performance Matrix, flexible timings as far as you can commit 30+ hours pw.

Cons

The job comes with running a software that takes picture of your desktop current windows every 10 mins as well as detects keyboard and mouse movement to guess if you are not there or idol. So you have to be active all the time on the computer, even if you are thinking about an algorithm architecture or whatever, make sure to throw in few keys or move your mouse after couple of mins
