Pros

There is a decent culture, good product, has lots of potential. There is work fun balance and provides some nice equipment. Good codebase. Some employees and mgmt are friendly.

Cons

Work can be frustrating with not much scope at least if you are a beginner and even tho there is emphasis on transparency, people can get shot down and not everything is revealed at the time of hiring. Sometimes work can be donkey work. Not too much respect given to everyone and there are some in the company who think they are above everyone and can be arrogant and sometimes unhelpful. Employees shift occurs often since this is a mid sized start up and that goes to show they can't keep talent even if they were paid high. There aren't too many employee benefits except for the free food and drinks. Some people get hired out of desperation to fill the gaps.
