Pros

Great perks, from free food from >10 cafes, gym, flexible timings.

Amazing people to work with, some of the smartest people I know.

It's Google!

Lots of opportunities to learn and increase your skill set.

Cons
  • Not a startup anymore; starting to feel like a corporate environment.
  • Compensation is not as high as other companies in the locality.
  • Recognition for your work is sometimes lacking.
  • Can get lost in the sea of people.
Advice to Management
  • More feedback on performance to employees, in addition to the review cycles.
  • Keep all the people involved in setting the direction for new projects.
