To reach that it has developed tonnes of great software, algorithms, etc. It is like a niche encyclopedia.

Cons

These are specific to Bangalore, India - Poor higher management - Least number of facilities for employees - Even a simple task is made into a firedrill - Poor work-personal life balance - Repetative nature of tasks

Pros

Huge good quality community. Good dev infrastructure , can spend more time in ideas and business specific coding

Cons

Development in teams closely related to business might not be a good experience. Decisions would be biased for the business and people are very frugal and obsessed with business.
