Pros

They managed to recruit good group of people and the products are solid in their market. Too bad they can't retain most employees.

Cons

The management is horrible, no clear direction, layoffs every other week. Recruiting people and after few month letting them go (which you can understand happening once or twice but not that often with so many great people). HR controlling the CEO and influencing him to behave even worse than he usually does. CEO that thinks that he is the gift of god to earth and instead of criticizing and letting people improve will slap them in the face and degrade them over email or in front of people (not an actual slap in the face but it feels like it). CEO that can't understand that product, processes, collateral needs to be released and then improved, therefore stops them and add feature or change the direction just before they are about to be released, resulting in no releases of anything (even if he himself approve it to the T before several times) A place that is managed by fear.

Pros

Exciting Technology that is being deployed in a wide variety of locations. The company was started in 2008 and is already making waves in a historically slow to change industry. The people who end up staying here are dedicated and motivated to do what they do and make an impact. The option to take on a high level of responsibility is great for any career. There was recently a management change. This has reduced inter-company political instability to a large degree (You can see from other reviews that there was a fair amount of that). 2015 is a BIG product development year for us and it is good to see the new management stabilizing the R&D pipeline. This is a sales driven company so we have profits to back up our technology. We also just moved into a pretty cool office in order to better handle the growth of the company from an employee and technology sense. I expect the growth to continue for quite some time. The people are all very friendly.

Cons

It seems that management choices made in the past have not optimized growth and left some bad tastes in peoples mouth. If you do not have an entrepreneurial mentality and are not driven to make an impact in peoples lives, then this isn't for you.
