Pros

Talented engineers are all around. Sadly slowed down by legacy tools, lame higher levels of management, frugal admins for computer hardware

Cons

Incompetent people higher up in the management chain don't get weeded out quick enough

Pros

1. Hardly any politics 2. Good place to learn 3. Very agile 4. Good for career growth and to start career 5. Inspiring colleagues 6. Lot of free snacks/fruits/cookies

Cons

1. Work life balance is a question mark. Even without management demanding, peers work day and night. This causes peer pressure and jolt work life balance. 2. No place for fun. Hardly any team building. Expected to work and contribute from day 1. 3. Need to talk to multiple internal teams to understand stuff and that can get tiring at times.
