Current Employee – been working at Soraa
Pros – Good 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.
Cons – It'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 Management – listen more about their employees' opinions.

Former Employee – worked at Soraa full-time for more than a year
Pros – Some good people still there with sense.
Cons – Large 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 Management – Drop the attitude. You're not "simply perfect."
