Brilliant coworkers to learn new things. Liberal policies which maintains work life balance. It is one of the best place to have an excellent work experience.

Cons

Cons depend on your believes and expectations. Company has a wast no of employees. So you have to take serious efforts to prove your talent.

Pros

Interview is focused mostly on data structures and algorithms. Easy to beat if you're doing online coding for some months. Good thing about thing is that you get to meet so many smart people.

Cons

Too much work load. Not at all good for married people or who have other responsibilities that require time.

Pros

Looks good on the resume, either to get into other companies later. Some smart people here.

Cons

No work/life balance, sweat shop. Yes, they will wake you up at 2am in the middle of the night. Management truly doesn't care about their employees. Very bad culture, people talk behind your back. Very high turnover, most developers are still unfamiliar with the product they're working on.
