Pros

1. Friendly Environment. 2. Exposure to multiple projects (but learn on your own). 3. If you impressed them, you might have some benefits (flexibility and compensation). 4.

Cons

1. Lack of process and Micromanagement. 2. I have witnessed multiple people being fired for almost no reasons. If they didn't like you, you are in danger there. 3. No Seniors/Tech Leads there. 4. They will always rush you to deliver. No attention to quality and also no challenges at work (Only small projects). 5. Fake benefits (They are applied only on few people there).

Pros

- Engaging environment - Friendly coworkers - Great exposure

Cons

- If you're not working 12+ hours to keep up with your tasks then you'll be looked down on. The company normalizes long working hours. No work-life balance - Dishonesty with their clients. They usually communicate facts that aren't true, whether it is the status of the project they're working on or the amount of team members that are 'fully dedicated' to the project, which isn't true at all. - Incredibly understaffed with no intention to hire so that they could cut down cost. They hire one person to do a three man job. - They don't follow correct process and are incredibly resistant to change - Incredibly low salaries and they justify it by saying that you'll get benefits that are never actually provided - Management does not leave anyone to do their job, it's literally a one man show to them and they have to interfere with everything. - Management is not confrontational and will talk to everyone about your 'bad performance' because you didn't work 12+ hours but they won't tell you to your face. - Too many distractions because they're always moving around what they like to call "Resources" - Team members. Nothing ever goes as planned because of their incredibly poor management. - Management lies to clients for retention and sell them false or ambiguous ideas on purpose

Pros

- Good market name: They really invest in their name through events and whatnot, but what they say in public is not true most of the time.

Cons

- You can't really discuss negative topics about the company, employees, or clients. They will either become defensive of each other or simply dismiss your concerns. - There are a group of current employees that look down upon others in the company. Those people are treated differently with more hidden benefits than others. - HR never respond and they mess up almost every thing they do. The average response time for HR was 2 weeks through email, and that was in cases where I actually received a response. - You won't interact with actual seniors unless you join their "ecommerce unit". Which is more like a brutal wasteland of unrealistic deadlines, outdated technology, and an overall lack of standardization. It's also worth mentioning that said seniors will not have the time to really interact with you. - The founders don't believe in having a work-life balance. This was said to me literally in a meeting with one of them. Almost everyone expects you to work overtime even though they don't have an overtime policy. - Compensation is below average as of the time of writing this review. - Their core values are made up and almost no one in the company adheres to them. - They give clients extremely unrealistic timelines and force everyone to work under tight, unrealistic deadlines even for internal projects.
