Pros
Ustream is in a very exciting industry (video), there are a lot of interesting colleagues and partners that you can learn a lot from and most of them are quite fun too. The products and technology are exceptional and the office location is superb too (right next to the Caltrain terminal). The company has quite reasonable benefits and if you go to work there with the right mindset you can learn a lot and advance your career.
Cons
While I got a lot out of my tenure there I always felt that my salary was lacking behind my improved skills, let alone the inflating Bay Area standards. Eventually they offered me an OK raise but by that time I was ready to take a much more lucrative offer. Ustream was more fun but hey I got a rent to pay.

Pros
* Trust in employees * Freedom to try new ideas and approaches to securing business * Fearlessly pushed boundaries of technology
Cons
* The only cons then were the lack of resources to really take livestreaming to the next level. Livestreaming as it is today owes a lot to the pioneering work that Ustream did.

Pros
The environment is very friendly and the teams are highly talented. Snack bar and liquor bar make this place awesome. Catered lunches and funny Marketing team made my stay worth while.
Cons
Too many mistakes in transitional decisions. Not challenging. Vision isn't emphasized. ALL employees should be rewarded occasionally. Many employees overlooked for their efforts in this company!

Pros
The new products were really great. The CS team had good feedback from the customers, our performance improved a lot. Communication with the HU teams became quite smoothly. Regular town halls, update from the different teams, the company vision is communicated by the management.
Cons
No real cons. Fast pace, quick moving. Sometimes too fast. You have to be very flexible. I had to answer a lot of customer support ticket requests.

Pros
Company has gotten more engaged with its customers and markets, there have been less ad hoc product direction or sudden strategy shifts than before. Resources are being spent more wisely and some recent changes in management had a positive result on my team. The platform works great for the most part and customers are pretty pleased.
Cons
Office is right next to Caltrain, great if you do Caltrain but sucks if you ride BART like I do. Pay raises are hard to earn, you need to really stand out and lobby hard to get one.
