great company to work for, but very conservative approach to business

Principal scientist/engineering director
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment, great benefit, very competitive pay scale, great coworkers

Cons

Very conservative business approach, lots of technically incompetent people are at the sr. management level, company has lots of dead wood. If you are super star (technically and non-technically), very difficult to move up quickly, very slow in adapting new idea

Understaffed at times and the pace can be a bit exhausting, no profit sharing and very limited bonuses for most engineers

It's a great place to work if you like the product you're working on.

Business Outlook

Pros

Open communication, good benefits, management actually seems to care. Less politics than at other big companies. There seems to be a lot of flexibility as to working style, schedule, participation. The company has a lot of growth opportunities and takes change seriously. The focus of almost everyone is on winning by creating more value for customers, and not so much on protecting existing franchises or killing competitors.

Cons

Projects get canceled for reasons that don't seem clear. The "consensus" approach to decision making means way too many meetings. It's a pretty closed world; many groups don't have a lot of opportunity to explore the latest trends in software. Lots of groups have legacy code, and backward compatibility slows progress.
