Pros

- Great Employee focus.. After 5 jobs with some of the biggest in the industry, here's one which walks the talk. they care about you and do all they can to make your work challenging and your resume top-class - Amazing Innovation drive - Flat organization - Won't get bored - One of the best salary packages

Cons

- This is a software company.. the non-software guys belonging to the business will have more challenges in growing - This is a software company.. some of the decisions on products are taken in lieu of the engineering capability rather than the customer need

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
