Pros

Great coworkers Great hardware and software for Engineering workstations. Excellent internal technical support staff. Org is flat, wide, open, and transparent - no silos. Little politics until you reach middle and senior management. Open to tele-working. Care deeply about the usability of their software - very customer focused.

Cons

Easy to get pidgeon-holed in one area. Hard to stay current on emerging open source technologies.

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.
