Pros

My peers at Joyent are good to work with.

Cons

The list of con’s is so long, I can’t list them all here. Since Joyent is owned by Samsung, the company is ran by an outside group of “Managers” from Samsung. They treat the Joyent employee’s as below them. Extremely disrespectful. The Samsung Management team is horrible. Their top priority is to push blame off on others and they will lie as needed to make that happen. The Samsung team changes our development road map every couple of weeks. Their management style is to simple demand more than any team can do and then blame the team for failing. Run from this company. Do not work here.

Pros

The company is going through massive much needed changes. Many of the people at the company are smart and hardworking. There is a focus on making people happy and fixing the problems. There is fresh leadership, staff, and new energy.

Cons

There has been a lot of turnover. There are a lot of problems to fix. There is a lot of change happening, and a lot of uncertainty about priorities, consistency, who is making decisions, and what the next steps should be. Basically, change is hard. Morale is up and down. There are a lot of new managers in a company that traditionally had very few. They all want to make a mark, but there is a lot of questionable leadership and decisions be made.
