Pros

Sonian manages to keep up, very well, with the ever-evolving technological landscape. Every day at Sonian exposes you to new, exciting things which put the depth and breadth of your IT knowledge to the test. it is not easy to get out of work, on a daily basis without learning something new. If you are intrigued by the latest trends... be it AWS EC2, IBM Softlayer, MySQL, Ruby, Clojure, Big Data, Process improvement and automation, Linux/Unix/Ubuntu/Windows Administration, Chef and pretty much everything in between, Sonian will challenge you. I've worked in the past, in more specialized, one dimensional roles and quickly found myself getting bored, that has not happened for one minute throughout my time at Sonian.

Cons

I really don't have anything to complain about.

Pros

There are some good people that want to make a difference. Free snacks, beer fridge, always a lot food, coffee, soda, and candy available. Nice office space, covered parking garage, and ability to work from home. Good place to observe how a company should not be run.

Cons

No matching 401K, limited health & dental benefits. Service has not been updated in years and lacks some features that most would consider table stakes for an E-mail archiving company. Little or no room for advancement because no one stays that long and company is pretty flat. It is curious how many former employees there are for such a small company. Many employees are quite passionless. Very high turnover for management, engineering and sales, (look at LinkedIn), I think this is an indicator that things have been wrong for quite a while and are not improving. Little or no communication on what is going with the company and each department is its own clique. There are more people in finance than there are in sales and marketing combined. Management focuses on the window dressing rather than substance. Company has potential but the ship lacks a good rudder.
