Senior qa engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, including personal business days, sick days, automatic 401K match even if no employee contribution, etc., The company is concentrating on niche areas and are cutting down expenses on other varied expenses, which might be good. The sales force is very strong as well

Cons

The company is cutting down opex on its varied investments, which might be bad news for some of the companies it acquired. Most of the operation is getting outsourced.
