Pros

- Really smart people all over the company that are trying to do the right thing - Considerate management team (low tolerance for cruel management styles) - Very inclusive and accepting work environment (women, minorities, parents, LGBT, etc...) - In a transformational moment for the company given it's stage so there's a lot of opportunity to make a great impact - Benefits of a stable company, but moves fast and continues to have a start up feel and velocity - As fair as a company can be around promotion cases (a great deal of energy is spent in this area) - The company is moving into a new office which will finally relieve the cramped work spaces, lack of parking and terrible food situation

Cons

- Not all teams within the company have the same culture - Questions and frustrations around performance of the executive staff - It's hard to tell when the stock will turn around

Graveyard for senior engineers, failed to retain talent

Pros

Good only if you are in sales and marketing. This is an public enterprise software company running out of cash, which means R&D isn't their main focus at this point. (Just look at their SEC filing, their marketing and sales expenses are 3 times R&D). Kudos to CEO and a couple upper management somehow able to attract bright engineers with promise of 10x growth in stock price.

Cons

Most engineering managers and directors have zero people management skills. They try to imitate Google's promotion scheme but don't have the right people on the committees. End result is that people with good social and self marketing skills get promoted while people who get stuff done gets fed up, become less productive and then leave. They also don't have enough money to fairly reward all talents, so a lot of senior engineers are leaving (which is also probably what they want anyway given the need to save expenses).
