Pros

Dont appear for interview and waste your time. Some of the folks will open google and start asking you questions on Salesforce. So better invest your time in a better company

Cons

No pros Long waiting interview process. It takes 1 2 months for whole interview process. Developers are still fine but the management is very poor.

Pros

* Management is very transparent * Intelligent coworkers * Very cooperative atmosphere * Work-life balance is respected * Company is doing well

Cons

* The bar is high * Company is growing fast. I'm fine with this, but you'll need to be comfortable with change * If you blindly take on any challenge and accept every meeting invite, your WLB will suffer
