Pros

- I love my view from the Tower - I have a ton of options since I came pretty early - Lot of cool people to work with

Cons

- So much dilution in shares that everyone who thinks we're going to be rich from this IPO is delusional - So many young managers that hurt the morale of the teams. Honestly, these kids are way too inexperienced - We're far behind on the Enterprise space but kicking butt in the Consumer space. I think it is too late to catch up on the Enterprise side, but for some reason we keep wasting time and energy here.

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
