Great place, lots of longevity

Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture, solid company. People are generally happy to be there although many do complain about how fast paced it is. I think the pace is fine and actually a little slower than other companies in the valley.

Cons

Not enough benefits. For those who joined years ago, they lucked out with the sabbatical and the stock appreciation. For those who joined recently, the pay isn't as competitive as other places and there are few fringe benefits.

Pros

Freedom to learn and gain training to assist in current position. Benefits are numerous, and the company is growing at an accelerated rate. Nearly doubling through acquisitions, as well as through market penetration and gained market share.

Cons

With rapid growth comes the challenges of taking limited resources, and leveraging them to create a more scalable environment.
