High salary; brilliant engineering; market share.

Can't execute; $3B "start up" mentality is not suitable for current stage of growth; if you're not Israeli, opportunities will be limited.

Very short-term, tactical focus with unwillingness to commit necessary funding to long-term strategies.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good bonus scheme (including stocks) and salary. Other benefits are also good (e.g. health coverage).

Cons

Very tactical, short-term focus. As a result, priorities change on an overly frequent basis and most work appears throw-away with little opportunity for re-use. There is no focus on a long term strategy in terms of either a business model or IT services to support it.
