Pros

Great people and oganizational values. Benefits are average however they do provide a wonderful crossfit program for free.

Cons

Growth within the organization is difficult. An individual will be given a lot of responsibility however little to no recognition for the positive outcome. An employee has to have a true desire for self-motivation because the management team will continually burden the strong employees and offer little to no recognition for the hard work. Without self-motivation it may be difficult to feel appreciated and to continue to perform at ones peak.

Pros

fairly progressive tools and environment

Cons

management is designed to serve themselves at the expense of engineers. Executives care more about their bonuses than employee benefits.

Pros

A lot of opportunity for the motivated, ambitious and lucky. Pretty good compensation - great ESPP program. Some great people spread throughout the company. Real opportunity to make an impact.

Cons

Massive thrash and constant change. Vitriolic atmosphere with plenty of hot heads and too many cooks in the kitchen. Too much chaos and change - sometimes its good, but most of the time it is just chaos.
