You want to work here? Are you kidding me? - Product Manager Borderfree Employee Review

Great collaboration cross functionally - leadership was great!

Growing pains of a start up to later being bought out

Great co-workers in fantastic teams. Compensation is competitive (read very good) and benefits are mediocre, but getting there slowly (in the past few months they've added more benefits and pluses). Management in the R&D department is very straightforward and highly transparent about plans and specs. The entire R&D department is broken up into teams with very fun names (chosen by the team members). Each team consists of a lead engineer, a QA engineer and 2 or 3 software engineers. Promotions are done on a yearly basis: you set goals at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, you meet with your manager to discuss whether you've met those goals or not. After that, you are possibly granted raises, bonuses, etc. Overall, everyone is very friendly. There's a kitchen on each floor, and leadership is very friendly (to the point where upper management knows most employees on a first name basis).

The company feels a bit top heavy at times.
