Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Folks are generally smart and friendly. It's easy to achieve work-life balance if you are not too keen on getting promoted. The culture is open.
Cons: As the size grows, policies start to kick in. There are people (thankfully, only a few) who talk the talk but don't walk the walk and are fast-tracked in promotions.
