Pros

-Smaller sized company -Training -Good coworkers

Cons

You work hard to make the executives and middle management a ton of money. ALL employees should be paid way more, both hourly and commission-wise. The stress of this role is not worth it. Further more management has a superiority complex because they are the favorites, and they sometimes low key bully new hires and such.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to work - you can switch roles between database developer, UI developer, backend developer or engine developer. You ask for the role and if opportunity is present it will be given. No restrictions that a particular developer always has to work in the same area. Lot of fun perks like health and fitness perks, awesome pantry loaded with healthy stuff for fitness freaks, some very unusual luxury items like dry fruits, fruit juices, fruits, honey, etc. Multiple activities planned for team building as lot of focus on highly bonded teams. The business problems solved in different projects are very complex and working on algorithms and devising logic to solve them is very satisfying. Excellent team members with lots of knowledge and good coordination. Owing to flat hierarchy and availability of higher management who are always willing to listen to any issue you have is commendable (if any review complains about management not listening, please ignore because they probably did not reach out to them - to be heard, you need to speak). Flexible work from home policy.

Cons

For some projects work life balance gets skewed (has not happened with me yet on any form of regular basis) Some general issues faced with growing organization but nothing worth it to mention.
