Pros

Nice Area - Silicon Valley, brand-new building, lots of free junk food (a pro for some). If you are okay with/like to brown-nose and are good at it (I do not mean this in a demeaning way, it's simply how some people operate) it could be a good fit.

Cons

Almost everything else falls into this category.Culture started off decently, but it's rapidly gone down hill. There's an absurd amount of favoritism at this company; hard/intelligent work seems to go unnoticed/unappreciated across the majority of teams, however brown-nosing seems to go a very long ways. Senior management tend to hire/promote their friends, which results in a bunch of people (some in high places) that know absolutely nothing about what they are overseeing/talking about, which brings a lot of distress to those who put their all into their jobs. Management (even mid-level) here is extremely high-level, and tends not to provide any guidance or even general availability which makes this is a terrible place for someone who is interested in career/skill development (and in many cases - simply finishing a task). My "Business Outlook" rating is based solely on how well I think the company will push their product, in terms of culture/work environment, I am almost certain it will get worse.

Pros

New campus is nice, fridge is stocked with water... theres plenty of coffee and snacks, too.

Cons

The culture of this company is driven by fear. If you create waves, you are regarded as a bad employee. There are a lot of intelligent people here who I have witnessed others go from rock stars to cogs in this company as new management has come on board, pushed people out of their department to make room for their own, talentless friends. It is really, truly devastating to see a once fruitful environment reduced to the sweat factory it is today driven by metrics. This company has a pseudo reality of thinking they are a big company, when really they are not - it is a small software company that uses low quality hardware to deliver what is essentially a hard disk with network cables coming out the back of it.
