Pros: Amazing. Everyone I have met is very kind and helpful.

Cons: I have found none so far.

Pros: You will meet and work with some of the best talent in the networking industry. You will give and take a lot of respect in an apolitical setup. Founders and management really care about making products and are not interested in just achieving it by any means. Sound judgment is like an epidemic. Everyone is on the ground, and they make sense usually. This is no sweatshop. On the other hand, people genuinely care and go beyond expectations by choice. X-factor: In the networking industry, this is probably the closest you can get to a Google/Facebook-type next-gen work environment with serious and world-class thought put towards scaling and continuously developing infrastructure and tools for engineering. If you are the kind of person that is excited by the thought of learning all kinds of cool programming languages and paradigms, and is not shy to develop tools on the go, there is no better networking company around. Another cool thing is that there is a genuine mix of fresh talent and experience. This is another similarity to a Facebook/Google-type environment, in my opinion.

Cons: Not much to complain about.

Pros: Work-life balance is alright.

Cons: The codebase is a mess. Co-workers are hit or miss, depending on which team you end up on.
