      Best work culture, knowledge sharing and learning

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work culture is awesome, engineers across the globe are smart and share knowledge very nicely. You will never feel like you are stuck somewhere during the work. - You are independent to work on anything you wish to, there are no restrictions on it. - If you are a linux savy then this is the best place to work, you will get lots n lots of learning opportunities here.

      Cons

      - Compensation is less as compared to other good companies. Best it won't matter that much if you love other things here which you don't get anywhere else. - No offshore opportunities

      Good people, good salary, good job

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of freedom on how to get things done. You can be really innovative and you'll be rewarded for it or you can just do what you are told, up to you. You are always encouraged to go to open source meetups and conferences and do one or more talks. If you have the right manager, the salaries and work conditions can be easily negotiated and improved. And of course, you get to work on open source all or almost all of the time.

      Cons

      Sometimes the work is not easy or just tedious and you have to push a few extra hours to get to the good stuff. Some of the manager and marketing teams are always pushing on not using opensource (thou being an open source flagship company), and are getting more and more power. Salaries are a bit lower than most, if you don't consider working on open source a plus.
