Aggressive work environment, not for everybody

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with the latest technologies. Working in small teams of really smart people. Lot of transparency in reviews and promotions.

Cons

Very aggressive work environment. There is a lot of work, but, its not necessarily good. There are a lot of resources and people to learn from, but, there isn't enough time, there is always a deadline looming over your head. Almost no perks in comparison to other good tech companies. There is a heavy focus on delivery and learning needs to be done on your own time.
