Pros

- Company is doing well. It always is good to be a part of a company especially if it is growing. I have been involved in 2 start-ups. I know the perils of an unstable work-place. - One of the best places to learn technology across a broad spectrum. - Good benefits.

Cons

- Company is growing into a big organization but behaves like a mid-sized company especially the middle management. - Work load and stress a bit elevated. - Some more compensation should be given because of the stress in the job. - Does not pay for MBA if you are in a technical position.

Pros

Good technology, challenging work, good opportunity to sharpen technical and all-round skills. Even entry level postions involve a lot of responsibility, including liasing with other technology teams, coordinating release schedules besides technical competance with system software design.

Cons

Middle management leaves a lot to be desired. Frequent changes in direction, last-minute surprises and crisis mode operation are de riguer rather than the exception.The problem is exacerbated by unrealistically aggressive schedules, lack of planning, shortage of resources and setting of unrealistic customer expectations by marketing. As a result, most of the engineers routinely end up working very late hours with litte appreciation of their outstanding effort
