Great company with nice people, convenient location, lot of opportunities to learn new stuff, you can always find good people to help you on technical problems and give you suggestions on how to setup your develop environment. Work is not so hard and everybody has the chance to learn and to practice the cutting edge technologies. Good sales team makes great profit for this company so that the company is silll pretty stable in this down economic situation. There are a lot of good restaurants around the headquarter of the company, so that you can easily to taste many good foods. And of course its location is nice to have you commute since penn station is just downstairs.
Cons
not too much growth recently, some people leave because the company is too stable. Short of challenges, the work is not that interesting since most of the development and products are middleware so that the developers can not see the result and can't feel the excitement when they see the users are really using their products. It's not easy for the employee to talk with high level people, actually we have a lot of suggestions on how to manage the company better and even which products we feel more worth to build and sell. There are too many QAs and product managers.
Advice to Senior Management
Provide more chances to let the employee to communicate with management to provide suggestions.
