Pros

The team was highly collaborative and effective. -Great management -Excellent group of people in all parts of the organization -Got to work on lots of different technologies

Cons

After the acquisition by Opera, the Skyfire technology was integrated into the Opera consumer products, which were all acquired by a Chinese group. At that point, what remained of Opera was the ad tech group so Skyfire was no longer a strategic fit. Selling to Telco's was a difficult business model.

Pros

The mobile industry is definitely taking off, and this is a good place to get started. The people are very smart and friendly here, the talent pool is extremely high. I think that most people here are happy with the work they are doing, and they are getting experience in areas that they want to grow. There is also a lot of publicity in the blogs and newspapers about Skyfire, so if you like working on something that is getting a lot of press, this is a great place to work. I also think that working in downtown Mountain View is a big perk.

Cons

We work lot of long hours, and weekends at times. There is not much vacation, management pushes too hard at crunch time. Also, we have unrealistic project schedules with too many features, which end up causing nightmares towards release time.
