Pros

Interesting pre-IPO opportunity in growth area (could be good - if your an development engineer).

Cons

Marketing/Sales (including SEs) salaries are pathetic CEO has no respect for anyone other than Engineers Will never make it into general purpose data center- don't have the 30 years of features Losing very large deals weekly Management is hostile to all but engineers Niche player- High Frequency Trading Will never make it to IPO CEO Ullal- continually cuts sales pay plans Losing sales people weekly Cisco owns this market 90% Look at the reviews, only the engineers are rating this company highly Beware of the ploy to give you incentive stock instead of salary
