Pros

Free food! Fun work environment. Great tools for you to work at your best. Some really good coworkers from whom you can learn and collaborate.

Cons

Most of the challenging assignments are in Sydney. The Bangalore site is new, and there isn't enough trust to delegate parts crucial to the company's success.

Team sizes are large (for me personally), which makes you feel out of the loop. You need to wait for information to trickle down.

I feel I have less autonomy as a developer. Redundant hierarchy and team sizes make it nearly impossible to feel a sense of ownership.

I feel I was paid much less than my peers.

Advice to Management

You are doing a great job. But please don't hire too many people and then try hard to accommodate their growth, or worse, change the culture too much.
