      Ample scope for learning

      Engineer, staff-1
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The management doesn't hesitate to get the best of available equipment and resources. There will be training sessions every month, which will be very useful for broadening your horizons. I never had any issues regarding work-life balance. Work routine will span around 10~12 hours and no intervention on weekends. Compensation will be better than market standards.

      Cons

      They pay good while joining. But hikes will hardly be 10~15%. When stock options are also considered, it seems OK.

      Good in parts

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get the benefit of the resources available to a large company with many of the attributes of a startup. There's a minimum of tedious process. Most engineers are smart and motivated. Junior management are unobtrusive but supportive.

      Cons

      Big startups are somewhat chaotic. The expansion through acquisition has created team collaboration problems that the senior management seem unable to address. Responsibilities between teams are poorly defined. Product roadmaps are like long-range weather forecasts were 20 years ago.
