Pros

Amazing health insurance and PTO policies. People are open and great to work with - management is available and involved

Cons

Start up uncertainty at times - things grow in fits and spurts. Nothing out of the ordinary but can rattle the un-initiated if you don't know how high growth start ups run.

Immature management and product hamper

Pros

Gotten some early awards in the industry and prominence at tradeshows and online. When product works as advertised, it solves a challenge for some customers. Boyband-like techie following.

Cons

Management is inexperienced and it shows. They do not understand the actual market that sales teams have to execute within. A considerable % of the sales team does not meet or exceed quotas - not their fault as they are talented. Sales team turnover is approaching 100% for first two years. Recent layoffs cut staffing to the bone while the external message seems to tell a different story - customers and partners see through the spin. Technology and product management have an arrogance problem - see issues as a sales problem vs. any bug issues, or general market perceptions. If you aren't in product dev, or at hq you are a nobody. Be more inclusive of the teams where the product actually interfaces with customers.

Pros

Brilliance and humility are qualities that one does not find very often. But I assure you the current team at PernixData has these two qualities in abundance. I am having the pleasure of working with some of the most accomplished people in the industry and they don't have any issue taking a step back for a new guy and talking/teaching him/her whatever they can. On the technology side, the phenomenal growth goes to show how great the product is and the way the company is paving the future path for products can only make things better from here. I am looking forward to being a part of the rise of a new enterprise software giant.

Cons

The usual issues a developer will see with a set of evolving tools. Apart from that I see none. But that has mostly to do with the age of the company rather than the company itself.
