Great Learning, Passive Manager

Pros: Good engineers work there; there is a lot to learn. It seems to be a good culture, with very nice food.
Cons: - The documentation system is broken.
- Most code is not documented properly; you are expected to figure things out on your own, which will waste a lot of time in the beginning.
- The manager could be more involved with the work and was also a bit passive-aggressive.
