Lots to like about working here

Pros

The technology challenges are exciting and motivating. There is a lot of opportunity in the organization for advancement. Solid financials with the focus being on growing the company and not on a quick exit. They take good care of the staff, providing food and snacks in the office, and a comfortable and flexible work environment. Most of the staff treats each other with respect. In a company this size, everyone's contribution matters. The staff really seems to genuinely enjoy being there.

Cons

It is hard work at times, as with any rapidly growing company there is much to do. Sometimes the free salads run out before everyone can get one! Long product cycles, especially on the enterprise side of the business.

Pros

Some really smart people work here. The office is beautiful. Many of the people that actually contribute are hard working and respectful.

Cons

Frat party atmosphere. Brilliant yet control freak CEO doesn't allow anyone to disagree with him. "Yesmen" are given more authority than they can handle due to lack of talent or experience. Much of the Sr Leadership team is arrogant and disrespectful. Very hierarchical, lots of unfounded ego.
