Pros

Work life balance, good people, good benefits overall, 401k match.

Cons

High turnover in the management ranks in the last few years. New management appears, announces new ideas, then disappears soon after. Product management has disappeared. The core hardware market is declining and there is no clear strategy forward. Technology is old. Many good sales, technology and marketing people have left.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
