Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with, cutting edge technologies, an employer who really cares about the employees. Building products from ground up and actually witnessing their market adoption is inspiring.

Cons

It is a high pressure environment, requirements are changing frequently and the marketing footwork is far from perfect. The constant drive to meet targets is exhausting.
