Pros

It is a challenging work place, where everybody is giving its best. You get to work remote or from the office.

Cons

The only thing I can think about is that it doesn't offer free food like other start ups are doing.

Pros

If you are lucky and land up in a good team with a good manager you can do really well. Lots of learning opportunities available

Cons

Lot of politics and no transparency from even from immediate managers. No choice in selecting work that you want to do. Can get stuck in a bad team and suffer for a long time. More emphasis on completion of the task than quality. Meeting deadline is more important, no matter how many regressions you introduce.
