Pros

* Robust network with unique global CDN pitch * Financial backing by large Japanese telecom * Solution is sound

Cons

* Management, primarily senior level San Jose-based, has no context of how to lead, manage, or empower/motivate employees. * Manage by fear environment * Pay as low as possible. Do not pay employees market value. * Lack of overall management honesty * Lack of respect towards employees * Several examples of extreme negative actions towards multiple teams * Disconnect between US HQ and Korean HQ * Unprecedented number of lawsuits versus CDNetworks coming from prior employees * Management believes its employees should "be treated like dogs." * Highly political environment * Management had inside sales working 12+ hour days mandated for over a month and provided no compensation * Management held out commissions on closed-sales deals if employees left before the compensation was paid out (150-days) * Management didn't compensate the account management team for their sales

Poor culture; dishonest business practices

Pros

It's a job, and they pay you money. The location is convenient relative to the freeway. There are decent places to eat nearby. Their actual technology, while poorly designed, actually performs quite well, especially relative to many competitors.

Cons

Culture is not meritocratic (employee-voted-on MVPs were often overridden by management for political reasons). Dishonest business practices (lying about compensation, stealing confidential information from competitors). They created incentives to chain people to their desks. Product management was done using waterfall instead of agile methodologies.

Pros

Do nothing and get paid ( way below average salary)

Cons

- No Perks, No bonus, No profit to the business. If you dont want to learn then please join this company. Poor work culture. Company is fooling around to employee and worst HR management. Every korean employee speaks in Korean work related things too ( "like seriously"). No new technology.
