Pros

1) It works in the mobile technology domain which is the most booming sector in current scenario. With the acquisition by VMWare , the growth trajectory will become even sharper. 2) It is a global leader on MDM domain. Gartner reports for enterprise mobility management sector proves it as well. 3) You are always encouraged to work out of the box and innovate. Its never just about bug fixing. Your personal growth is given equal priority. 4) The peers are knowledgeable and very eager to share their knowledge and challenge each other. 5) Compensation is decent as per market standard. There is no variable or hidden perks. 6) You always feel to be a part of the company rather than just an employee.

Cons

1) Office culture can be a bit monotonous sometimes. 2) Its still a growing company , more efforts and money are put on expansion but not facilities. No Gym/TT/Pool table in office. Can get hard to kill boredom. 3) Less frequent team outings and lunches. 4) You will get a pinch for leaves. However a better understanding with your manager can get you some help.

Pros

Works on latest mobile domains. Employees have opportunities to move across teams without much hassles, this helps to learn different technologies. Work life balance is ok. Good and knowledgeable teams in different technologies.

Cons

Employee policies need to be improved. Sometimes team here knows about things bit late and teams have to rush to complete things.
