Doing a good job: could be improved

Pros

There are lots of nice, smart people working here, and the work is varied and interesting. The work environment is nice, albeit distant from Cambridge. It's rewarding to see the products in people's homes. There is huge ambition within the company and very high velocity.

Cons

A few big egos in this company who find it hard to listen to other people's ideas. Lots of deadlines are set before planning work sufficiently, which leads to disappointment when the work runs late or released prematurely. External training opportunities are few to non-existent.

Good people lacking ambition

Pros

Small tightly-knit teams allow for constructive teamwork while giving real ownership of the work that you do. Generally open to feedback and improvement both on personal and corporate levels. Casual and friendly atmosphere. Overall lots of nice people to work with. Beautiful office and though far from Cambridge centre, still very commutable. Decent benefits package.

Cons

There's a clear lack of ambition. Lots of great people coming up with great ideas, and then there's a bureaucratic process by committee to deconstruct it and scale it back to the absolute minimum that they can get away with, sometimes to a point where the implementation doesn't even make any sense anymore. A second roll of red tape is then kept for later to wonder why consumers prefer competitor's products that look nicer, work better, have more features and cost less. A fair amount of petty office politics and egos to deal with, but I suppose some of that will exist anywhere.
