Hard-driving company doing what it takes to be a leader in a competitive, flat, industry Challenge their people, pay well with a great bonus and generous time off. Always stretching for what can be accomplished Aart's charisma

Cons

Very competitive business means short term projects with aggressive schedules to meet customer needs. Always a get it done focus can mean sloppy work. Tough company for emerging technologies, must have key account driving technology in order to maintain investment > 2 years. Upper layers of management are impenetrable The center of the universe is in Mtn. View High pressure, long hours Yearly layoffs keep the workforce mostly young
