Trying to do too much with too few

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are always willing to help out; Interesting products and services; Opportunity to work on many different initiatives that can make an impact on the company

Cons

The amount of change that the organization has endured over the past few years is wearing on everyone. Managers tend to over commit to executives and then expect their staff to make up the slack. Managers seem to have a short term view and/or do not have the patience to see strategic initiatives through.

Once great; not so much anymore

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The products are great. Flexible time off. Fellow employees are great. What's left of the culture is great. Proximity to decent food.

Cons

After recent layoff anouncements the company is in shock and I'm not sure it will quickly recover. Location in Daly City. The review process keeps changing, and is rarely followed anyway.

Used to be a great place to work...

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people. Great product. Amazing challenges. Can be very stimulating place for people looking for a good challenge after a boring position.

Cons

Extraordinary pressure put on pro-video engineering. Senior management absolutely careless about employees life. You must be available 24hrs/7days a week in case something goes wrong with customer systems. Escalation process is totally broken, support staff needs to be restaffed and retrained and engineers must compensate in the mean time. Engineers are tired and tension can be felt.
