Pros

Excellent team, market leading product and customer driven. Very low employee churn and for a medium sized technology company. Many of the key senior management and key engineers have been with the company a long time. Culture is very consistent and well developed. Senior management are driven and work long hours and appear to have high expectations for themselves. Super fast paced and continually innovating to meet the needs of the market and customers. 1000's of customers all over the world and gives you the sense that the company is truly global. Able to directly influence success as there is a lot of responsibility given to team members. The team concept is used liberally at the company. Seems to be on the edge of breaking out...

Cons

Super fast pace is not for everyone. If you are looking for a company to come to work late and go home early this is not for you. Senior management provides lots of autonomy but as project requirements are often tied tightly to customer deliverables there is direct accountability. as the company is public there is a very deliberate focus on revenue, particularly near the end of each quarter...this creates a lot of additional pressure.

Pros

As a small company, Counterpath doesn't have many "management only" managers, and not much office politics. Most managers/team leaders are very technical hands-on, I feel this ensures that most engineers working here are good at what they do. I have been in this industry for more than a decade and have worked with a lot of engineers, some of Counterpath engineers are the best I have met. It's always great to work with the best. Time management is fairly flexible, as long as the job gets done in time. Many different technologies are involved in company's product, if interested, one has plenty chances to become expert in some areas just by doing his/her daily job.

Cons

Long hours, it's not easy for small companies to survive, so everyone is expected to do a lot. Technical wise is demanding, and you have to keep learning constantly to stay competent for your job, not for everyone. Benefits could be better.
