Pros

People here are friendly, helpful and really want to do good work. Technology space is very exciting and cool. Company has all the right pieces to do exciting things. Great benefits and work/life balance.

Cons

The leadership team cannot intelligently communicate a strategy or an execution path to reach market opportunities. They point to PowerPoint slides and call it a strategy (scary). There is no structured market strategy that drives alignment through the organization. The level of dysfunction across departments is out of hand. Company is losing its focus, ability to execute and deliver on time. There is little accountability at all levels and key players all around are leaving. No career paths.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
