Great place to work if you're in US

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology and products, senior team is very focused on delivering great solutions and make the customer happy. Salary is good and benefits are great.

Cons

Micro management on some level tends to frustrate when working on remote or home offices. Lack of marketing efforts at high level jeopardize the efforts to grow. Company doesn't have a defined channel strategy which prevents the growth on emerging markets.

Excellent job satisfaction in Sales Engineering, limited opportunity for advancement

Sales engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Truly stellar work experience (likely team/geography dependent), very interesting and challenging job. It's easy for a motivated, personable engineer to gain enormous independence - produce results and you can truly manage your own time. Every day is a little different, job is roughly 70% technical, 30% business. Pay is a little > than industry average, and benefits are very good. Senior Management loves SE's. Frequent face time with CEO, who is visionary, and capable of detecting, admitting, and correcting his own mistakes. That's important and somewhat rare in top leadership IMHO.

Cons

There really isn't much of a career path if you don't want to be an Account Manager, and the company is very tight with stock grants. This may be mostly a reflection of the size (2013 Q2 Market cap of 1B, 350M rev, 1k employees). One employee mentioned politics and I don't disagree, I've seen it. It would be best if a small number of long term managers moved on, but in my role and location I'm largely unaffected.
