Vantaggi
visionary founders, even better if you had the opportunity to work with Srini, Ganesh or Ravi.
Early emphasis on sales, customer acquisition & incubating/acquiring
amazing PR & HR
long term focus
young team, immense faith in developers. all first 10-20 hires were freshers led by a calm & experienced CTO in Ravi Kannan
ability to retain employees
Svantaggi
hardly any overlap/discussions with employees apart from their manager/immediate team members. (on the flip side - everyone knows what they're doing & don't butt into what others are doing)
lost several early employees who did not get any stock options - but hey who new it would get get acquired for $200M+
bad canteen
average to below average salaries for new employees
