Pros
- Work from home, if you can hack it - Travel - Great technical colleagues, many of whom will become your friends
Cons
- Run into the ground by a bi-polar, psychopathic, megalomaniac founder who has no coherent strategy to make money, and surrounds himself with like-minded yes men. - Middle management has no clue how to run its engineering teams, with many spineless people who only look out for themselves and are happy to stab others in the back - Upper management are the founder's puppets who say one thing and then do another Canonical used to be a fun place to work with an exciting future. After over 10 years in existence, it's still not profitable, and the founder is so desperate to succeed that he rules with an iron fist and micromanages every aspect of the business. At company meetings, he has each team march into his Principal's Office to explain themselves, while he rips people apart for not knowing obscure facts.
