Fremont, CA

Current Employee – been working at Soraa

ProsVery open and collaborative environment, working with amazingly smart and inspired people, great product, lots of opportunity to excel, constant learning and exposure to new ideas, great sales staff

ConsTypical chaotic startup ambiguity about org chart, building new systems, management a bit out of touch with market realities, very competitive product space

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to customers, make product roadmap based on what customers and market want, shoot higher in long term goals- this company will change everything, manage the potential

Current Employee – been working at Soraa

ProsGood company, casual working environment, a lot to learn, lots of excellent employees around you. Get the chance to know how the whole company runs. The whole company is just like a family. Drink, coffee and cookies are provided.

ConsIt's still a small starup company. Lots of challenges. Job may be not so stable as big companies like Intel, IBM or Google.

Advice to Senior Managementlisten more about their employees' opinions.

Former Employee – worked at Soraa full-time for more than a year

ProsSome good people still there with sense.

ConsLarge turnover for the smart and hard workers. Founding fathers no longer part of the company and "family" atmosphere is gone. Many upper and mid level managers have also resigned. Micromanagement from the ones still here. No appreciation for a job well done. Lack of creative freedom for design engineers. Product not what the market is expecting from our marketing.

Advice to Senior ManagementDrop the attitude. You're not "simply perfect."
