Pros

You get food free of cost at lunch time. A couple of outings in every quarter

Cons

Spoiler Alert! Not for the faint hearted! An organization runs on the collective conscience of people who are a part of it,seldom will you find that an organization runs on the whims and fantasies of individuals! At the heart of the problem lies 2 individuals a person who manages the Bangalore office and goes by creating a fake impression of being a hands-on geek! Well if you happen to cross him he will throw you out after getting your marching orders from the person who runs the US office. To be Honest it's a Mom and Pop's shop with "It's my way or the Highway attitude!" Some frivolous accounts how people have been thrown out - 1. Apprehension of an employee to keep working on Saturdays and Sundays continuously! 2. Another employee was thrown out coz he disapproved of Pizza at lunch! 3. One got thrown out coz he took an external project to work on through crowd sourcing! The bigotry at this place is of historical proportions. I refuse to acknowledge this place as a company.

Pros

Awesome coworkers. Flexible schedule, daily catered lunches. Great location. After hours events. A tech dream come true.

Cons

Micro management. Workplace fatique. Failure to document operating procedures. Performance evaluations based on feelings rather than merit. Using outdated methods of communication and planning. Failure to listen to development staff regarding important time-saving tools and practices. Over all, this is a growing company that doesn't know how to grow up.

Pros

Comes off as a "cool tech startup", complete with a sweet office, free downtown parking, free lunch, unlimited time off and pretty good benefits.

Cons

Jutera Labs is a total bro-culture with no respect for their employees. If HR actually existed, management would be in violation on a daily basis. There is no work-life balance so don't plan on actually being able to take a vacation or enjoy your evenings, work is always expected to take precedence over all else, always. The environment has become so hostile and uncomfortable because of management so even when there are team building activities no one actually wants to be there.
