Pros

Agile, fast, cutting-edge technologies, and a lot to learn from experienced very helpful co-workers.

Cons

Management stack needs serious improvement. Sometimes even random new guys are hired with NO management experience and are asked to act as manager with all the authority in the world, and these managers are then too ignorant to work with the employees on their career path.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
