Pros
  • Amazing pay (One of the best in the market)
  • Amazing perks (Several paid lunches, other perks)
  • Amazing place to learn some of the most interesting and newest technologies.
  • Amazing place to learn by working with some of the most highly skilled developers.
  • Cooperative environment, contrary to a competitive one.
Cons
  • It is a pull-driven, not a push-driven, company. Hence, even for seeking help, you need to know the right questions. Self-motivation and self-learning are the only ways to excel, even if you are new to the company.

  • Tight deadlines might sometimes lead to a tough work environment.

Advice to Management

Peer programming can be promoted.

Have a formal mentor/mentee program for newer members.
