Pros
  1. It depends mostly on the team. I'm lucky to have found a nice team and manager who is very supportive and always gives me tons of opportunities to explore, with enough freedom to play around with things that are new to me.

  2. The mixed crowd and the cosmopolitan culture. You don't feel like you've landed up on Mars. Big up to Bangalore for that.

Cons

Mix of good and bad apples in every team, but that is common everywhere, I guess.

More Hackathons to inspire the culture of innovation (not that they don't happen, but they should happen more frequently).

More interaction between different teams [I don't know many of the folks in the office :( ].

Need a gym in the Bangalore office.

Advice to Management

Organize more tech events, like hackathons, and bring more incentives for activities outside of regular business requirements. That's the only way we can keep learning new stuff on the job.
