Pros

From my experience it has one of the friendliest management team. For starters, good work is always appreciated and negative feedback ,if any ,is communicated immediately. So no shockers during appraisal. The management's approach is ask and it shall be given(as long as it is reasonable of course :) ) , talk to us if you have a complain and we will try to resolve it. And it is a company which is always evolving trying to make things a bit easier on it's engineers

Cons

Every release is a pressure cooker situation waiting to happen. Focus is on the time taken to complete projects rather than design , though they are trying to change this off late . Initial builds (nearly 30 weeks) are spent on fixing issues in previous release, then comes a mad race to complete new projects within limited time available and next comes complains about regression and bad designs. We need more resources , more time, a proper design and proof of concept to be reviewed by senior management before any project is approved and lastly reasonable expectation from each engineer.

Pros

Innovative technology with growing market demand and penetration, coupled with a "small company" feel and roots. Very competitive compensation structure for both technical and sales staff. Company has zero debt, huge cash reserves, and invests highly in internal growth.

Cons

If you aren't internally driven to succeed on your own (reach out for opportunities, work your territory, have a pipeline), you won't do well here. Success is tied to performance. Turnover on non-driven sales professionals can be high; retention of Systems Engineers and technical folks is much higher. Comp plans change annually, sometimes with unattractive consequences; for example, a FY2013 comp plan change caused SE bonuses to be tied to an entire region's performance, rather than your individual performance with your Sales counterpart, which had the unintended effect of a compensation reduction for the highest performers in a territory, as their numbers were reduced by the lower performers in their region.
