Pros: - Great work-life balance. - Projects are good.

Cons: The review system is broken. Your raise/bonus is solely dependent on the feedback of your peers, which, in a way, encourages bootlicking. Salary is below industry levels now. There are very few or almost no perks and benefits. They only give you 5000 Rs Ola credits in India, which will also not be adjusted to your salary in case you opt out of it. You do not know when you might get a raise or bonus; it seems randomly decided. You get a raise when you least expect it, and vice versa. There's no concept of levels or promotions for an employee. If you are an employee with 8 years of experience, and some newbie joins, there's a high chance both of you are designated 'Software Engineers'. Lol

Pros: An up-and-coming network company with a niche product. Will probably IPO soon.

Cons: No BS culture. Most employees are ex-Cisco/ex-Juniper/etc. Not so many young engineers, although they are trying to recruit more new grads.

Pros: The projects are interesting, the pay is competitive depending on your stock entrance price, coworkers are great, and work/life balance is fantastic.

Cons: It can be very easy to slip into the same position or role for years, and management doesn't seem to care about that. Internal promotion possibilities (in title) are near impossible. Pay bands, aka engineering levels, are hidden from employees, which makes it harder to know the going rate.
