Pros

Competitive salary They prefer to hire you as a contractor with a salary over the market.

Cons

Arlo is claiming to be lean and agile - what a joke! Why? This is hell wrapped up in shiny cellophane. The working environment is just pathetic, with no collaboration between teams, no visibility what-so-ever of what's going on, daily production escalations, bureaucracy, and bad management practices. For example, the backend QA team will never provide the correct API for the client QA team. They just get around it or even worse. They provide the FAKE one to wasting your time. Do you think it's personal behavior? NO, it's approved by their manager. And they never treat you as you deserved. You will see the 5+ years developer is doing the manual test. but the new-grade monkey is doing the framework. You can not complain about anything because every manager has their own political consideration but never for quality. They even break the deployment just in order to make the other team embarrassed. The offshore team is lazy and without any discipline. The local manager just sits on his throne and keep abusing the noob. He even asks members cannot go to lunch before he moves. What a pathetic people. Bad for software career. You will only learn how to be a scum here.

Pros

The company has set the course, and we all are sailing together. My boss is the best I have worked with till date. Working hours are flexible, work from home is an option, lot of opportunities to take responsibilities, to learn technology etc. Get the right manager, everything will fall in place automatically.

Cons

*The rewards were not up to expectations, that is understandable because of the situations after spin-off. * Management keeps changing the plans/road maps. Hope that we will have solid plans after the initial phases.
