Insane Benefits

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are insane. The base salary is good, but the stock, bonuses, financial coaching, dependent FSA, health savings accounts, 401k with match, and fitness reimbursement plan takes it to the next level.

Cons

It's a very complex company, so finding who you need to get something done can be difficult. There are tons of legacy users of the products, so you also have to continually balance legacy workflow along with the things new customers want and need. There's a lot to balance.

Fun, but a little unreasonable in its demands

Software engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good brand, fun products Lots of old timers with long company knowledge Decent pay Very stable profit stream Made a real attempt at ditching the old ways of making software

Cons

Lots of early meetings, engineering is spread over many countries, including India and there isn't a good separation of ownership Senior Management is very unreasonable, not understanding what good development takes. They can't remain focused and constantly shift resources around. Good contractors are let go too easily instead of being converted to full time. On the other hand it's hard to fire poor performing FTEs.
