Great Place to Work

Pros

Lots of learning. Niche technology. Leaders in the CDN space. Great perks and know how to pamper their employees. IF you are ready to bend your back, there are numerous opportunities available.

Cons

Management in India has almost no say in decisions. US culture very evident which can make or break your career. Need to really slog it out if you need to keep your job. Training new employees and guiding them in adapting to the work culture will help in retaining potential high performers.

Pros

A Product based company with a Start-up like attitude giving employees the importance they deserve. They only choose the best when they recruit people for the Job.

Cons

If you are not comfortable taking up responsibilities and getting the job done without any supervision. I wouldn't recommend this place for you.
