      Just another engineer review

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technology and expertise in building best in class, accelerated development and delivery, highly innovative and exploring minds to work with.

      Cons

      Obstacles to everything in pros from the management. Nobody understands engineers here. Treated like replaceable peripheral devices, they plug and play with them and the stuff they build. Be it every other HR policy, or every other engineering process or every other product call: it's a take-the-order attitude, and that's scaling faster than the hardware infrastructure here.

      Thanks for being a valued member of our team for over a year. We certainly believe that building a good product cannot be done at the expense of stifling new thoughts and ideas from engineers. As a matter of fact, we really appreciate new ideas coming from engineers especially when somebody takes the initiative to build it into our product. However, since our product is so critical to our customers and their users, we have to take into account their needs and feedback; which then have to be prioritised. We have to ensure that ideas that are implemented are the ones that matter to our customers and us and are creating a significant impact. We value contributions of every single individual in the organisation based on their drive and ability to make a significant impact.

      Best engineering team, worst work environment & management

      Software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - By far the best engineering team I have ever worked with. - The product has a big international appeal to it and every engineer here solves real first world problems. - Awesome pantry, serious workspace. - Nice pay.

      Cons

      - Horrible HR policies, they sit close to the office door to monitor the in time and out time of the employees. No work from home culture and absolutely 0 team bonding. - No vision, there has been no new product made after its initial two products. Its just bug fixing, maintenance and features. - No ESOPS, the parameters for bonuses is not penned down unlike 20000 other things and is solely in the hand of the management. - The management nitpicks way too much, doesn't like employees walk down from the office for a smoke, shorts are not allowed. - Nothing can be pushed to production without the consent of the CEO / CTO, so technically speaking there is no ownership (unless it is about blaming if something doesn't work out)

      Thanks a lot for appreciating our pantry and product. We like them too! While you were writing this, a lot was brewing at BrowserStack. 1. We were building a new world class app testing product which has been beta launched. 2. We now have a long term incentive plan (ESOP) which has been rolled out to every single employee. 3. We got together as a team to brainstorm ideas on how to make BrowserStack an even more engaging workplace. All these ideas are being acted upon as we write this. 4. While HR never used to track the in and out time, they have moved further away from the door when we rearranged the seating for all…☺. Things are changing for the better at BrowserStack.

      Great technical exposure

      Pros

      The breadth of technical challenges you face at BrowserStack is hard to find in most of the companies, especially based out of India. Its an ideal place for a person who has interests in hacking on new problems across a wide range of technologies. At BrowserStack, your technical know-how increases tremendously as you're working on a purely technical product with a good tech team. And of course, since BrowserStack is very popular among the web development community, you have a great audience to build stuff for.

      Cons

      BrowserStack is part of a big community of web developers, QA engineers, automation engineers, etc. A lot can be gained by sharing the tech knowledge with the community via blog posts or open source contributions. This is currently difficult to achieve as the complete focus is on developing a cutting edge product.
