Parallels Reviews

Pros

-Excellent life/work balance -Premium/Competitive benefits -Expansive opportunities for internal growth -A clear directive from management/executives -Under Corel, there are constant cross-functional opportunities for those who seek it -Internal culture is friendly and transparent

Cons

Many Parallels employees are high-functioning and have high-output for their productivity. So, a new employee or junior hire who may be entering early in their career may feel left behind without meticulous supervision and constant alignment. Merging of systems with new acquisitions or internal system changes is difficult to keep up with but it's clear the change is always to the benefit of the employee.

Pros

talented team with extreme motivation

Cons

didn't notice them - it was huge fun

Pros

Good benefits. Flexible schedules - getting your work done is what counts most. People love working here and get along very well.

Cons

Not too many, actually. Senior management is very reserved and isolated - could communicate more to the employees. Rare to get an update on the business or direction of the company. Most information comes third hand. Company has split off divisions and has sold them. Opportunity for career growth is limited.

Pros

Greate medical insurance. Awesome kitchen, mostly great people.

Cons

Playing politics is more and more important that getting things done.

Pros

Great health benefits, 401k match, great work/life balance, and chance to grow in an exciting field. They have set it up to attract top tech-talent and it shows, each new employee brings amazing skillsets to the team. New office location in downtown Bellevue is very nice as well.

Cons

Still in midst of large changes including split of 2 other companies - Plesk and Virtuozzo. Can be chaotic.

Pros

Work life balance, good health benefits, decent salary if you negotiate for it. Most of your coworkers are smart and have good intentions.

Cons

Lack of vision, of if there was one it was never articulated down the chain. Managers can't spend time actually managing their teams because they're too busy working on picking up the slack. Large salary discrepancies across the organisation. Huge amounts of attrition.

Pros

Growing company. Great outlook. Has a very international culture and has a good base in the U.S. as well as in Europe and EMEA.

Cons

Needs to keep an eye on competitors. Also, management needs to listen to employees more.

Pros

Overall it is a good company

Cons

The location is inconvenient for most people
