      Pros

      overall good compensation, benefits and value on people; mature leadership team, well managed oveall; flexible with remote based work. Work hard, play hard.

      Cons

      suddenly, and unceremoniously dumped team players without thanks for recognition of contributions, very inconsistent with character of the company, black mark for them

      A nice place to work, but not necessarily to grow. Friendly co-workers.

      Pros

      Employees are respected here. Almost no office politics in my office. I know there is a little in others. When I started I felt like this is a company that treats its engineers like the talented professionals they are. The pay is good as are the benefits. Work-life balance is respected mostly. Don't work more than 40 hours a week unless you have to. We have flexibility to work from home if necessary and can shift work around to meet other demands (ie, work late one day to leave early the next).

      Cons

      No education or career development training beyond an internal web thing. Management keeps saying they'll pay for it, but it has never happened, for anyone. Not willing to invest in refactoring or migrating to newer technology, except in select cases. When they do the knowledge is very compartmentalized, they don't train a whole team, just one engineer. The business side will push a product without securing any customers for it.

      Chaotic Work Environment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation and benefits, excellent coworkers.

      Cons

      No consistent strategy, constantly shifting priorities, micromanagement from the highest levels. Wholly insufficient engineering funding across the board for the product objectives that have been committed.
