Pros

Great supportive colleagues, lots of potential technology and products.

Cons

Bad decisions made by upper management staff. Management should consider consulting with all levels to determine product readiness. Cut products and releases days before launch resulting in loss of revenue and inability to recover operating expenses.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
