Pros

good place for first job in tech - fresh out of college or intern, do not stay longer than 2 yrs max. Fun sales kickoffs and team meetings - benefits getting better

Cons

this place is a meat grinder, constant turnover of good people and bad name for this in the industry - spend more $ on marketing than anything so products, r&d, and engineering suffer a great deal. Deals dont stick, constantly looking over your shoulder after a sale so partners and customers get frustrated. Way too many egos in management that care about themselves more than anything else. Trying to go after bigger deals but the products just dont work in the bigger environments. Very difficult to make $ here, well below industry standards.

Pros

Lots of free booze and cheap junk food. A few good employees. If you're part of the right clique, then you'll probably do well. A very few people recognize the problems and are trying to fix things.

Cons

Where to start... Management has total tunnel vision. Absolutely no criticism of engineering decisions is tolerated and management abuses the disciplinary process to punish engineers that disagree with them. Compensation and benefits are seriously under industry average. Advancement is only available to a select few in the right clique. Engineering process is practically ignored resulting in huge amounts of talent wasted on fixing unnecessary bugs. A few people recognize the problems, but since there's no commitment to process change from the "superstar" devs and therefore from management, they always end up failing in fixing things.

Pros

Great parties, friendly coworkers and free lunches. This is a good place to learn if you need work experience. Just move on to get better pay, better benefits and a more professional working environment.

Cons

There have been some improvements but this place still needs alot of work. Low salaries, bad communication between departments and unprofessional behavior of some execs, managers and coworkers (angry cursing, public berating and sharing private matters). If you're young and single, this might be a fun place for you. If you're looking for more in your job (satisfaction, benefits etc.), look somewhere else.
