very good place to work if you love technology

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Gives you a lot of freedom at work, encourages changes within the team. Lately they have been lenient in allowing people to work from home.

Cons

Because of being a private company, things change on drop of a hat when comes from top. Sets very high target which causes them to not meet it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance. Easy to move up career wise after 1-2 years of work. Great benefits, and ability to move around the company is fairly easy.

Cons

Overall great place to work. At times it can be difficult dealing with angry or disgruntled clients. Putting in for time off has to be done very far in advance .

Good company overall...

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everything is team dependent Pay, work ethics, quality of work etc. In general, pay will be good in any team. If you are in a relatively new team then you may be using C++ and somewhat latest technologies.

Cons

Most teams will not tolerate tardiness and late arrivals, however late departures are always welcome here (infact much needed). Fortran and really old technologies are still prevalent in some teams. If you work there for 4 years, you are rendered almost useless for any other company. Things are changing though and its much better. There is definitely a lot of politics ( which is not obvious to leaf nodes)
