Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of talented people, working hard in a very flat organization. This means that you will get to wear a variety of hats and try new things. Nevertheless, engineering is really the focus of the company. I was in a small, 9-person group focused on performance aspects of the company's software products. My manager was great, and I got to work on several of the companies best products.

Cons

The focus on the new product, Apex, comes at the expense of the existing products, it seems. They are under-resourced. As a result, working on the existing products it feels like you have to do things that would be offloaded to another team at a larger, more hierarchical company.
