Pros

Very supporting work environment, great people, highly professional. Great place to learn latest technologies. Company offers business class international flights for the employees.

Cons

Sometimes work schedule gets very challenging and you are expected to work beyond the normal hours and even around the clock. The company has very aggressive M&A behavior for good and for bad. They frequently acquire new start-ups, but also laying off a lot of engineers.
