Pros

1. Located at close proximity to city. 2. Office is at prime IT center, so you have lot of options to move out, Once you found that you are in a bad place... 3. Some co-workers are really good but I have no clue why they still stay here. 4. If you are in good books of mgmt, you will be paid like anything and you can never dream of getting that outside. It may be a boon now but thats a serious issue because someday you will get into the bad book and you cannot move out until they throw you out then nobody will be willing to hire you because your technical skill is so outdated and pay is so overrated...

Cons

1. There is nothing called growth either in technical or managerial path. 2. If you say yes to everything that the top mgmt says then you are good else even god can't save you. 3. Number of developer to manager ratio is getting almost close to 1:2, i.e for every dev/tester you have 2 managers. One will do technical other will do project based and both have no clue what they are doing... With the current rate of hiring it will go to 1:3 soon... 3'rd manager will manage the swipe in swipe out time.... 4. You are required to present in endless calls which has no use to either the product or technology but you should be there and they will take attendance there.

Pros

YuMe hires a lot of talented engineers and individual contributors so there is always so much to learn from the individuals. But they all leave quick once they understand the politics so grasp as soon as you can. If you can grow immune to politics and smothering, then you can join YuMe The product is good and has a lot of scope. It is not stabilized yet so there are many interesting and challenging projects in due.

Cons

Politics Management is run by gossips and backbiting No vision Your efforts will not be recognized unless you cajole the management Growth is only when you turn in your teammate to management Absolutely no transparency You're evaluated only by what others speak about you Forget work-life balance There is no hierarchy. When things go bad, there will not be anyone there to cover your back. This place can bring your morale and values down.

Pros

Good profit sharing. Good technology stack.

Cons

Management sucks. They perform cheap tricks on you like increasing your notice period(During probation) after you have joined the office. You need to take special permission for using the printer. Any candidate you refer, only gets 30 % hike. But when they recruit their own candidates, they give more than 100 %. No one cares about what you learn here. They only care about how many defects you have fixed(Not how many have opened or your quality of code). Major Micromanagement. They even look into your personal life. Company doesn't provide Bike/Car Parking to the people working in the office. Parking your bike/Car outside the office results in your vehicle being confiscated by the Police. Management made me wait for 3 years for my car/bike pass. It is still making me wait and making false promises. YOU JUST CANNOT PARK YOUR VEHICLE HERE! Make sure you negotiate with the management and get a vehicle pass before even agreeing to the Offer. They do not give you revised Offer letters. There is no specific policy here. They change their policies then and there. Gender inequality in office. They only recruit married women or only Men for both night and regular shifts. No outings. No Laptops for SDE. Only provided for people who want to watch movies.
