Pros

Smart, motivated, technical people "in the trenches" making great products. Generous PTO policy Work / life balance is easy to maintain

Cons

Constantly shifting vision - the current flavor of the month is IoT (Internet of things) Upper management seems clueless to the reality that the company culture they're trying to steer in a new direction is entrenched - they can't turn the company into the next hot startup just by wishing hard and giving us all a 2 hour training course No raises except the occasional cost of living adjustment which comes so infrequently that salaries are declining vs. inflation

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
