Pros

Well funded VC backed startup Distributed team, colleagues all over the world Leading technology for the media industry

Cons

Management treating subordinates badly and it isnt the kind of place to work if you want a life outside of work There have been minor attempts to improve the culture, but no clear action was ever taken Sales leadership are unable to see where the real problems are. Too much process is stifling all of the teams Sales leadership have been implementing new processes which have taken too much time away from selling and which has not been of any benefit so far. Sales teams spend more time reporting than doing their jobs Two sales leaders recently managed out of the company and one was replaced by a friend of the SVP who alienated and lost the entire sales team before being fired himself. The investors are blamed for every problem the company faces instead of senior leadership taking accountability for their actions Customers are leaving because theyre not been supported

Pros

Technical industry leader in its niche markets. Still some room for growth, although already started implementing pre-mature processes of matured companies. There are pockets of good people and good leaders. Broad coverage of global markets including broadcast, media and content providers. Nice kickoff meetings in Austria, and it's known for the extravagant parties at trade shows. People do seem to be collaborative, more so in some of the other companies.

Cons

High employees turnover rate specially on sales and technical fields. Leadership is in denial and justifies it. Seems like the VPs are running the company. For the size of the company there is too much hierarchy. I see innovation being stifled because of product and engineering taking more than they can swallow. It seems like everybody is overworked, and poor quality of work life balance is the new accepted standard. Company's surveys seem like a fake effort.
