      RealNetworks - let's grow up!

      Pros

      Cool people in product and technology teams, many good ideas; not always enough focus to get key things done. Leadership has waxed and waned - seems to be improving; company has made some smart moves that can indicate staying power

      Cons

      Worst Marketing on the planet. Hands down.

      Pros

      Smart and interesting people work at Real - great talent. The office is in a nice location. Generally, there is a pretty decent work/life balance.

      Cons

      The products created are increasingly irrelevant, and Real is in danger of completely fading away. Money is spent inconsistently, and in the wrong places. The rotating cast of executives can be very disheartening.

      Duh, Free Rhapsody

      Pros

      Pleasant seaside location and delicious spaghetti right next door. There are a lot of really smart people, even if they don't stay too terribly long. There are some good interesting tech projects. Very diverse work means that if you want, you can look around within the company. Oh and duh, free Rhapsody.

      Cons

      Very disorganized, with G&A surprisingly low-tech for a "high-tech" company. The organization as a whole is very disjointed as well, very siloed structure really doesn't facilitate cross-group communication, which can lead to frustrating bureaucracy. The cafeteria could use some work, especially since there are so few restaurants nearby.
