Pros

excellent quality of code in the core product. Great hiring: I did not meet a single person that I questioned why they were there. Very talented people!

Cons

they short people on bonuses and commissions. The CEO approves all pay personally. You never know when you will receive your non-salary pay. stock is volatile based on how a single, specific customer does. Managers and VP's have little power to compensate their workers.
