Pros

for learning perspective its a good company but no support from seniors. Even huge politics, since it has new setup therefore no proper management, no KT, no documentation. you work & credit goes to senior as a politics is going on. Worst for Contractor, so I would suggest as a contractor never join cause you will have to face dirty partiality.

Cons

No management. HR is not connected to employee for any kind of concern. Seniors & Lead behave like big boss.

Pros

- Fun and collaborative culture - Strong focus on career development and progression - Have opportunities to work on projects that interest you - Get to share your work with Senior VPs and the CTO - Everyone's opinions are heard and appreciated, no matter how long they've been with the company - Have a strong focus on innovation within the company - Collects employee feedback often to make improvements to the company - A lot of great perks (vacation, free food, game room, etc.)

Cons

The company is starting to grow rapidly, which means there will be challenges with keeping the company culture intact, although I think the company is aware of this and is taking the right steps towards ensuring this isn't an issue.
