      Pros

      The company seems to have a good footprint in the content/web acceleration space. they value everyone's opinion.

      Cons

      Very political for the size of company, takes a longtime to get consensus to move the needle.

      The resources exist to make us a well-oiled machine, however middle management can't seem to make the pieces fit (yet).

      Pros

      Good pay/benefits Knowledge exposure is incredible and is easily transferable elsewhere flexible work-from-home programs available Hard work easily translates into recognition

      Cons

      AWFUL work/life balance Goals and visions differ greatly between departments Bringing new employees up to speed on technologies is painfully slow finger-pointing culture becoming prevalent in services/support product engineering is sometimes misaligned with customer needs and asks

      Pros

      Very solid technology, intelligent and hard-working employees, interesting customers and projects, commitment to making customers successful, limited tolerance for poor performers.

      Cons

      The company is run very lean - which is positive in one sense, but also leads to an overworked work force. Weak on respecting people's outside lives, and expectation is that people will be available at all hours if needed.
