Pros

Friendly people, always been appreciated for work done. The product itself is great, so I always feel proud to work with such talented engineers around me. There is lot of things to learn here, I personally enjoy this learning cycle.

Cons

Sometimes it gets long to get your requests approved but I am sure eventually it does other than that I can't think anything else.

Pros

Composite leadership has excellent vision of their competitive space and good insight into what customers want and need. A great social environment with genuinely nice people. Management really tries to create a friendly and open place to work with lots of little extras like a fully stocked kitchen with all kinds of snacks (healthy and not), drinks, fruits, and real food, weekly catered Friday company lunches with open seating, lots of open raffles, contests, and cash prizes for jumping into participate in activities, The management invests time and energy in people and hopes lots of opportunities to socialize will also fortify good team synergy. The Engineering VP has deep and broad technical knowledge and good people skills. He strikes a great balance in both listening and applying critical analysis to propose and assess relative merits and pitfalls likely with various potential solutions. Development working scrums provide teams with frequent informal checkpoints, keeping the work focused on delivering good product according to stake holder requirements.

Cons

Over-reliance on JIRA workflow task monitoring has been an unnecessary drag for developers. Task level micro-management and a sense of distrust between product management and developers (among other factors) accelerated team attrition rates in 2011. Engineering team needs new blood to accomplish full roadmap of improvements and feature development.

Pros

Extremely nice collegues Good comp and free snacks Plenty of interesting problems to work on Wed work from home day Resonable work hours Big name interesting customers Bad management in the past couple years caused half the eng department to leave. But the good news is that this has been fixed and things are better and now lots of good opportunities to improve your eng skills and learn new things. Although growth was flat for a couple years, the company spends carefully and seems to have plenty of stable customers to keep it alive, possibly forever or at least until its bought. So I wouldn't worry about take a position here if the work is interesting.

Cons

Lots of work from support issues. Managers in the private offices tend to be out-of-touch with the reports.
