Pros
  • a lot of interesting problems to solve from hosting, infrastructure, backend to frontend.
  • Awesome team
  • Competitive pay
  • Remote First !!
  • Nice other perks like medical insurance or leaves etc.
Cons
  • Need to work on multiple things at a time - some people really don't like this ( while is an advantage for many )- Work life balance is mutual, if you don't try to maintain it yourself, you probably won't have it. But if you maintain it, people usually respect it as well.
  • Niche problems - a lot of times you will not find any similar problems on the internet and it might frustrate you because you are probably the first one to face it and sometimes have no viable solution. ( I have seen people give up due to this )- Nothing much really, I don't see the above as cons, but I know a few who do
Advice to Management

Speed matters! Competitive pay of BrowserStack was awesome when I joined. But is now similar to many well-funded startups and sometimes we have higher-paying startups as well. Especially in 2021 we see that there isn't much difference. While BrowserStack still has a lot more perks (like remote-first) and better quality of work, in the end will see attrition if it loses competitive edge.
