Great Technology but ......

Pros

Maybe the best technology to be a part of in 40 years. It works better then advertised, the support was great and customers love the products.

Cons

The worse overall group of Sales Management in the software industry. Don't just look at the sales results. The team in the field is second to none, the management needs to move on. Not honest and they don't need to cheet. What a disapointment to watch their example.

A Tale of Two Reviews

Pros

The positives are quite compelling. Work is rarely more than 40 hours a week, I can work from home whenever I want, I can work whatever hours I want, I have been compensated above market average (both in terms of salary, bonus, and stock), and my manager gives me a lot of latitude. Like I said: quite compelling!

Cons

However... the cons are quite unsettling. There's been a distinct lack of interesting projects, a change in strategy/direction seemingly every few weeks, a culture of rampant politics and mistrust from the top down, and virtually no career advancement. Further, it's a VERY deep management structure, with seemingly gratuitous layers of management inserted whimsically.
