      Overall a nice place to work, but not perfect.

      Senior engineering manager

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Good work life balance. Making cool products that help creative people realize their dreams. Decent compensation. Smart, honest, hardworking coworkers. Freedom to run my business as I see fit.

      Cons

      Complicated internal politics. Strategy changes every year. Becoming more focussed on wall street and quarterly results than our customers and business.

      Awesome benefits, senior management lacks the killer attitude / strategy

      Pros

      Great place to work if you're in it for the long haul Great benefits Amicable work environment Flexible schedules Managers are real nice people Co-workers are genuinely interested in helping you out Lot of opportunities to learn and grow via trainings

      Cons

      Managers seem to lack decision making powers about the future of their product, and the few who wield the power don't seem to be very coherent. Climbing up the ladder will take very long, no matter how amazing you are. It's become one of those companies where every employee (as long as you are not one of the worst performing employees) gets promoted every so often. And when you're performing really good and still don't get promoted, the reason you get is that senior management doesn't want a lot of people moving towards the top so fast! No matter what the HR says, the salaries are not better than most companies in the area. They are towards the lower end of the spectrum.

      Great products, benefits, location...but quality of mid-level mgrs and VP's varies

      Pros

      Products are great & company continues to innovate Sr mgmt has always been strong Very civic oriented: very unusual for companies based in Silicon Valley

      Cons

      Mid-level mgrs: some good, many are real idiots Very process-bound: takes 10 people to approve every decision Review process rewards people who rubber stamp decisions of mgmt
