      Business Outlook

      Pros

      great bunch of people to work with. cutting edge technology. Opportunity to learn lots of exciting stuff. Decent salaries but not structured very well. stock option/RSU a added incentive

      Cons

      Immature managers still learning the tricks of the trade meant chaotic processes and haphazard task allocations. No transparency from the senior management. Bad product planning.

      Great place to work and excellent products, but no mobility or career path mean it's great only for the short haul.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Great products that work as advertised -Excellent industry reputation: for those who've never experienced it, it's great to work for a company that everyone wants to hear from -Excellent pay / benefits / vacation. -Good work/life balance. Excellent offices if you're near one -Very intelligence people with respect to individual contributors and first line managers.

      Cons

      -The job as you've been hired is what you get: little opportunity for mobility within the company or promotions. - High growth means the typical "growing pains" - Processes haven't yet caught up with the size of company -Too much focus on management products with not enough focus on profitable core products. -Middle management is incompetent, and multiple layers slow down or stop anything which requires an approval -Poor communication to employees. -Little rewards for a job well done. Furthermore, no accountability for mistakes or missteps.

      Pros

      Laid-back culture, breakfast on Friday, ability to take time off, flip-flops are okay!

      Cons

      The HR process are lacking, and the ones in place are broken. Most of the senior level HR Business Partners and managers need to be replaced. No one works towards a team goal, or provides a team effort. You have to watch your back, and be sure to keep a personal record of all of your work and "kudos" received.
