Pros

A very relaxed and respectful place. Everyone is nice and supportive, and there is very good work-life balance. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work here.

Cons

The technologies we used are kinda outdated. All the critical scalability issues are handled by the product team, so maybe not the best place if you want to be working on the state-of-the-art stuff.
