Great product and technical team - just not sure what they want to be...

Pros

The SE team is, bar none, some of the best in the business...their communication, expertise and experience is very senior in many areas.

Cons

The culture has been crushed by changes in the organization, and the company seems to have lost site of its most important asset...the SE. Moral is low, as is the ability to overachieve...this is a huge dissuading factor for A players.

Stay away

Pros

Good products with a good reputation though very little new products in the pipeline. Good channel program though the lack of new products is hurting. Good benefits.

Cons

Very poor leadership starting at the top. In my 12 months I saw 10+ managers from the Western Region leave, some were let go though most left......I had 3 mgrs during my 12 month stay. And the Sr. Management team is still there (they now have a new CEO) so the common denominator is Sr. Mgt. Until they change I would stay away.
