Cons

some times thrown in the fire

Pros

learn a lot good team

Cons

salary, hours are very long

Pros

1. Great place to learn many new technologies
2.

Cons

1. No real career development, it becomes a sweat shop and before you know it you've worked many 10-12 hour days and have no clue where you're going 'career' wise.
Management doesn't care about your future or present goals, they just want the work done.
As a result, by setting false expectations about your ability to grow with FalconStor..u end up being disappointed.

Advice to Senior Management

Change the brand, change the management style, put REAL processes in place.
Stop this "DROP EVERYTHING NOW AND LETS ALL SCRAMBLE AND DO THIS" work style because it doesn't work and EVERYONE , even you management, ends up spinning wheels unecessarily.
At the end of the day it does NOT pay.

Pros

The whole company is under good environment, and the everyone is nice to the newbie and people who have questions.

Cons

The whole company is not like previous years and had some economic problem. Low salary to the employees and interns.

Advice to Senior Management

no

Pros

You can work independently. No micromanaging. Interesting technology. Very nice employees who are always willing to help. Very flexible environment.

Cons

Little or no appraisals (supposed to be annual but not always). Reorging too often causes disjointed management. Need better planning and upper management direction.

Advice to Senior Management

Need better planning and upper management direction. Communication could be much better from management and between departments and business units.

Pros

Familiarity with technology - you will learn a lot if you take the time, there is a lot of equipment to learn and coworkers are good resources. Lots of good people work for the company in lower positions.

Cons

Horrible management - I don't think anyone is actually trained to be a manager, and upper management does not care about the workers at all. Long hours are expected, as is working Saturdays. Some times people are called in from vacations for customer support. No appreciation for job well done but you will hear if you did wrong. Negativity is all you will hear from your manager, because he is hering the same from above.

Advice to Senior Management

No matter what is said management will never learn to respect it's employees and the value they bring to Falconstor.

Pros

good benefits and free food which is needed as you're expected to work 18 hour days

Cons

Software sweatshop. absolutely no compassion or tolerance for life threatening illness.

Advice to Senior Management

stop feeding your employees bagels and dinner and let them go home!

Pros

Exciting product. coworkers great, has a lot of potential.

Cons

No training, no support. Poor communication.

Advice to Senior Management

Sell to a larger company that has better management.
