This is one of the best place I have worked. The founders have set a great work culture and their attitude is passed on to the entire leadership team. The engineering team has been a great team to work with, all my colleagues were extremely helpful throughout my tenure. The CTO is the most approachable person and is always open for suggestion. There is a lot to learn from him and the entire team will agree. From a continuous war rooms to no war rooms wouldnt have been possible without him. He is truly an asset bookmyshow can cherish.
