Pros

Great work-life balance, the company doesn't ask you to extend the shift. If at all there's requirement for extending post shift hours, you will be compensated with Overtime allowance. Leave policy is amazing but with small catch, which I will mention in the cons section.

Cons

As I mentioned in pros, there's a catch in leave policy. You can't take more than 2 Unplanned leave per month, which is a bummer during flu season. The company is against small breaks, which will affect your metrics and there's tools for capturing each and every activity of the employee. Career growth has declined over the years and it doesn't look good at the moment.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
