Pros
Oddly, lack of headcount required/offered the chance to learn more skills across more functions Most of the people working there for more than the past 3 years are smart, helpful, dedicated Great product ideas always in process Good benefits package, flexible work schedule, casual environment Generous IT support and equipment Generous educational benefit - up to $6K/year Good location for commute - near restaurants and stores
Cons
Constantly changing direction and priorities costing millions of dollars Frequent, unannounced, illogical reorganizations Their way of dealing with sagging profits seems to be reorgs and layoffs rather than rethinking product release, marketing, sales strategies Silo issues among departments and functions Ageism - they're quietly but surely getting rid of anyone over 50 Very odd relationship with former M Systems acquisition - as a result, almost all director and above positions have been replaced with Israelis Has tendency to not pay vendors on time often leading to project interruptions or penalties
