Pros

The engineering staff is competent, and the CEO and co founders are solid.

Cons

* Terrible management team below the Sr levels * Director level managers are the least competent in silicon valley. Lack even basic knowledge of complex systems, engineering or even physics. * Non-data driven decision making. * Invention, patents and technology advancement is avoided. No concept of innovation * Every department is run differently with no continuity * Extremely high turnover rate * No mentoring of younger staff * Busy work and data entry is best way to describe culture. * No new product development plan. * Common quote at team meetings "If you don't like it here, there is the door" * Far and away the worst place I have worked in 30 year career
