Classic silicon valley company - Trying to do everything right.

Former – New

Pros – Excellent Benefits, Good Culture, Lots of possibility

Cons – Confusion with all the acquisitions. As an acquired company (LightSurf Technologies) I felt like we were a little at arms length from the rest of the company.

Advice to Senior Management – Not applicable, as the management team I worked under is no longer in existence.

Project Manager, MIS

Former

Pros – * OUTSTANDING People
* Flexible work environment
* Great opportunity for advancement
* Superior suite of products that the technology world requires for survival

Cons – * Annual reorganization
* Movement from an acquisition model to a divestiture model - while this is not inherently bad, it does change the culture from one of rapid growth and excitement to one that is more complacent.
