Pros: Flexible working hours, meeting rooms are always occupied, no free lunch, and no accommodation subsidy.

Great place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
February 4, 2018
Pros: - You get to work on the latest technologies with the latest tools.
- Good scope for learning.
- People are very friendly here; most of them are always happy to help you.
- You get to write the services almost from scratch, as the codebase is pretty new in India.
Cons: The DevOps team is a bit of a bottleneck. Sometimes it becomes frustrating as you need their approval for every small thing, and more often than not, it takes up more time than the actual development.
HR activities are quite minimal; mostly, it's all about your work.
No company-sponsored lunch.
The tax structure is not up to the mark.
