      Pros

      There’s no bureaucracy, people are nice.

      Cons

      Pathetic seating conditions for employees, extremely low salaries, high employee turnover and a dismal HR team. They just don’t like to spend $$ where it is important! The various departments don’t talk to each other - creating a complete chaos.

      Pros

      Good benefits, good gym, opportunity to learn something new

      Cons

      They hired someone , pay the person less money than what it is worth. If you want to ask someone to do data entry work, hire a data analyst . Programmers are meant to code, don't bring in programmers to do manual job, they will not like it. Also, testers are for testing, you don't bring someone who is a tester and ask the person to code , It's horrible to work with someone who has no coding sense. 360 peer review has turned into throwing stones, especially if your colleagues don't like you. Too many useless meetings, business has work that needs to be done, but team is lacking , due to inner conflicts. Pathetic .
