a bit of high end of the industry to make the experience there seems to have a bit of glaring.

small company with complex org chart, with ever increasing management layers

Good compensation (salary, bonus, stock and benefits).
Good people to work with, most willing to share their knowledge.
Good work environment and reasonable project schedules.
Good technology, equipment and resources available.

Cons

No opportunity for promotion or advancement, negotiate the highest possible job grade when hired.
Processes are out of date, behind the rest of the industry in how projects are organized and managed.
Risk adverse, no concept of stretch goals.
Weak middle management, too concerned with perception, focuses too much on technical aspects, people management virtually non-existence, too many 1-1, trust is an issue.

Advice to Senior Management

Big company aspirations, execution falling short.
Senior management virtually invisible, only time you hear from them is during quarterly result meetings.
Rewards process limited to the very few, lower the award value and show appreciate to those who do the little things that count just as much.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are strong
High growth industry
Flexible working conditions
Nice campus and facilities
Opportunities to make an impact
Founder and CTO still actively involved with the company

Cons

Quite political, more focused on approval then executing with excellence.
Routinely under resourced, but continues to add more VPs and layers of managment that further insulates senior leaders.

Advice to Senior Management

Get focused on executing with excellence, quality and customer focus. Ensure appropriate resources are allocated to develop and deliver high quality products. Build management capability, especially middle managers.

Pros

Best work environment. Fast paced and at times short on resources than needed. Overall it keeps extraneous things from creeping into work environment.

Cons

Always short people for work. Can get vexing at times. Can do definitely with fewer projects focused on key ones.

Advice to Senior Management

Consolidate on different projects

Pros

Good people, the location is great, the technology is interesting, the pay is good above average. the facilities are great.

Cons

the process is getting in the way of progress, upper management is mostly engaged in managing up instead of managing their groups

Advice to Senior Management

Stop with the 'home grown' tools, they are clumsy and cost a great deal to maintain. Change the process to enhance products not get in the way. Reward managers who actually manage their groups and product positive results.

Pros

Great technologies and an applaudable ambition to go to the next level as a company. Invests heavily in VPs/EVPs

Cons

Cannot get out of its own way. To be effective you must constantly drive consensus at HQ in Sunnyvale, CA.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix broken processes, hold HR accountable for being unresponsive to lower employees to point of unprofessionalism...they manage upward.

Pros

loads of opportunity to learn and work in the latest technology. A team with friendly and supportive team mates.lots of great minds around. in short a great company to work for

Cons

though it is a great place to work where u can learn a lot, the recognition is not that great.

Advice to Senior Management

nothing much. be focused and just achieve the target
