Pros

- Flexible hours. - Location. Aliso Viejo is gorgeous. - Some good people are still there, although fewer and fewer. - Opportunities to learn deep internals of database engines

Cons

- No raises for years. Senior management is convinced that money is not important at all for engineers - Everything has already been outsourced or is in process of being outsourced to China and Russia - No new projects for very long time. The company is growing through acquisitions only - Lot of really good people have quit - Engineering is essentially dead. Mostly sales and management positions are among openings. - Very high turnover among senior management. Few top-level managers stay for more than a year

Pros

Collaborative Innovative Casual People are great Technology constantly evolving Level of transparency and accountability not found at other companies When times are tough, look for employees to give back vacation instead of reducing headcount

Cons

Some units within the company are not as well organized and run as others Had a rough run for a couple of years financially where comp was not advanced or club cancelled Compensation opportunities are fairly limited SEC Options investigation caused a big drain on focus and had a high cost for what turned out to be minor adjustment of dates for two or three disbursements out of 20 or so. Truly awful enforcement and then diminished a compensation opportunity that was not replaced. Thanks SEC
