      Great place to work for Open Source advocates and open-minded people!

      Pros

      Company culture is awesome if you're an open source advocate. If you're not, it's still a great place to work as long as you keep an open mind. Work is pretty flexible, sometimes even leaving it up to take the initiative to work on valuable projects. Most people are really passionate about what they do, which makes for awesome work life. However, there is also a real balance with life, offering pretty good PTO.

      Cons

      There seems to be a decline in the importance of Open Source for some people, making it OK to adopt proprietary solutions when convenient. It's probably a side effect of a growing company, where a lot of the people coming in don't have the same vision and passion for Open Source.

      Good Open Source Culture Based Company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great work/life balance. - Ability to contribute to open source projects. - Has the welfare of its customers in mind.

      Cons

      * Company has grown beyond its initial roots. It has crossed $1B in revenue last year. Now revenue trumps culture. Company can get short sighted. * Either Engineering calls the shots or management calls the shots. There is a clear divide between management and engineers. No intermingling.
