- 4.0Awesome Feeling to Work with Big ThinkersSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaApril 8, 2012Pros: It's really a good place to work, where we are motivated enough to come up with hack ideas that can be productized. However, it is a different part of the story that most of these initiatives are killed or not considered immediately when they reach VP and SVP level.
