I have to say, I agree with all the good and the bad reviews to varying extents.

Accountability and space to challenge yourself 4) Competitive pay & benefits Equally important, what works for the ecosystem 1) Big Data on Cloud market is booming 2) The innovation in the space is very rapid and that sets the tone for urgency internally and externally
Show MoreCons
- For folks who have not seen an organization through its scaling challenges, it could be frustrating - Mistakes made along the journey are frustrating and you will see that in the reviews. Quite a few have been rectified. If you know someone inside, speak to them before you make a decision to join/ pass - Yes, some people are leaving. Some of it is unfortunate, other is inevitable as any organization scales... - Be prepared for changes to your role, your leaders and your product. The market, the scale and skill levels might be forcing some of these changes - It does not seem to be a predictable cozy expense-splurge startup job. On the +ve side, you will learn a lot about getting things done
