fun people to work with, cool stuff to work on, cutting edge and great atmosphere. Was a great place to learn about the computer industry, boulder is an awesome location

Cons

Upper management does not know how to keep best engineers around. Massive layoffs happened and yet they were recruiting for identical positions on India.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
