      Pros

      There're always new things to learn from the management or the colleagues. The company is willing to invest into skills development.

      Cons

      It's sometimes difficult to manage work-life balance working from home in a geographically spread business. Not much else to say.

      Pros

      They will do anything to make money, including skirting the rules: - Bent the RUS rules about final assembly in the US - Does not collect state sales tax - Shipped kit on the first month of the new quarter but counted the revenue in the past quarter

      Cons

      There are too many to count, but here are the top 3: - Cliques and favoritism are rampant in the whole company. Watch out who you anger. - Managers are trained to be micro-managers (ex. giving feedback on punctuation in an email) - Don't report things to management. You'll be targeted for removal.

      Well-intentioned company and fun, but few career opportunities and pays below market rates

      Business outlook

      Pros

      They will hire you with no software knowledge, and train you well technically in 1-2 years. You'll get as much responsibility as you want to take on, and plenty of exposure to lots of complex technology. There's a decent starting salary for a graduate, and some very flexible working hours.

      Cons

      After 1-2 years, the remuneration becomes uncompetitive. Base salaries are low compared to other software jobs for your level of experience. There is little or no further training in e.g. management, personal development, certifications etc, and few career opportunities beyond the purely technical. The company has an uncertain commerical outlook, so right now there's some pretty low morale and whether any bonuses will be paid is uncertain.
