Pros
  • Amazing culture.
  • CEO Vivek has great ideas to work for and the potential to put the company to good heights.
  • Good learning curve.
  • Some good developers are there from whom you can learn.
Cons

The new leadership is not good. Here is some honest feedback:

  • VP of Engineering: Talks too much, but is not practical and not supportive at all.
  • VP of Product: Brings no vision to the product, as well as lacks the skill of good planning and making good decisions.
  • Architects: Need to improve on how infra can be optimized. But have never seen any good initiative with development effort put up by any.
Advice to Management

Management is good. People's views are valued. I would just suggest one thing: connect more with people and see what they have in mind and how they feel.
