Pros

Seattle office is great for work/life balance, people are awesome, work is steady and reliable, lots of opportunities to dig into technical problems.

Cons

Upper management employs the python method on each newly purchased company. Squeeze, squeeze, kill, eat.

Pros

Some of the projects are interesting. Great coworkers and corporate atmosphere, in our location at least. 4 weeks of PTO per year (combined sick leave/vacation)

Cons

I'm embarrassed by the lousy customer support we give. Employees are treated badly so all the qualified ones leave for better places (our competitors). With refusal to hire or invest, it's only a matter of time before competition will leave us behind. We pay our new hires the same salary Google interns get. How could we possibly compete with them for talented engineers? Absurdly short-sighted focus on tomorrow's stock price drives bone-headed business decisions.

Pros

- Good PTO policies - Flexible Schedule (Depends on the group) - Interesting Work

Cons

- There seems to be a lack of vision for the organic growth of the products acquired. They tend to languish over a period of time and die on the vine. - It's very top-down. Worker bees are first to go In one group there are at least 2 managers to every worker. Very inefficient - No clear ideas on how to innovate. I lay this at the feat of the CEO who probably understands everything about how to run a traditional business and nothing about how to make a software company sustainable and successful. - Acquisitions seem to be for IP and also for hiding systemic financial problems. It is very odd timing indeed that the company acquires a new company either right before financials are released or right after. The stock seems to languish mid-quarter and then is boosted again via a well timed acquisition. - Every new hire has to be approved by the CEO. Riddiculous. - Compensation lags - The benefits are horrible here on the west coast. If you like not being able to see a real doctor then this is the place for you
