Pros

Salaries are competitive, can't think of anything else.

Cons

Mostly a sales company, does not understand or think like engineers. Does not innovate. Takes no risks, very slow reaction to market forces due to the concept of rigorous, unfounded "budgets". Antiquated and useless review systems (SuccessFactors for example). Management doesn't know what it's doing.

Pros

if like funky Fremont that would the only positive thing about this place. Nothing negative about the worker bees their is just the mgt in the kindness terms sucks.

Cons

First of all, I feel so guillty for waiting so long to post something. It was just such an uplifting feeling being away from working there and being at real company where hard work and technical excellence was actcually appreciated. Maybe I could have prevented some poor soul from experiencing something literally that sucks the joy of life from your soul. Do you enjoy being demeaned on a daily basis, clueless mgt, then this is the place for you. But, wait maybe I can save another soul from despair. They are hiring again I have seen. Do yourself a favor and pass on by this snake pit.
