Pros

Management is good at identifying weaknesses in company culture/policies/direction and making changes. Very little dogma. Extremely strong team, I'm constantly impressed and occasionally intimidated by how smart and effective my co-workers are.

Cons

There are a lot of growing pains. We've only had a year where we couldn't fit the whole company onto a single floor or a building, and there was a lot of communication we took for granted that doesn't happen anymore, especially between product/engineering and sales/support/marketing

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?
