Very relaxed and respectful place. Everyone is nice and supportive and there is very good work life balance. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work here

Cons

The technologies we used are kinda outdated all the critical scalability issues are handled by the product team so maybe not the best place if you want to be best working on the state of the art stuff
