The best company I have ever been a part of.

Technical support engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This is the company that believe in respect, pushing yourself, a balance between home and work (really, not just posturing, they really believe in this) and giving back to the community. Extremely relaxed work environment but also a company filled with extremely smart, motivated people. A perfect balance of freedom and intensity.

Cons

The view in the Portland office is distractingly beautiful.

Business Outlook

Pros

Product quality and customers service are top priorities. Excellent benefits. Everyone embraces engineering best practices and agile development. Technical debt is well managed. Engineers are allowed to devote a small amount of time to self-driven initiatives. Good opportunities for employees to expand their knowledge and skills. Awesome company parties and offsites. Customers love the product and the company!

Cons

The product is approaching maturity, so there are fewer opportunities for new feature design. Middle management can be dictatorial, and often shows favoritism when promoting over merit and achievement. There are relatively few opportunities for advancement.
