Overall, the best work environment I have experienced in my 30+ years in the Valley!

Pros

The people, including Senior Management, are trustworthy, fair, and work well together. The Compensation and Rewards program is robust. Senior Management cares about employees. The company is growing, yet continues to examine ways to "get better". I am lucky to be here

Cons

Growing pains, some regional/corporate infighting, lack of systems and some resourced. All can be fixed, and some fixes are already underway

Company has lot of good people which makes it pleasurable to work, but IT is just the wrong place to be working at.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay package, nice hard working people, growing company with global presence.

Cons

IT is like a sweatshop, where people are expected to hangon late (like beyond 7pm) even on fridays and even if there is no ciritcal or time sensitive work, coming after 9 AM is questioned, spending 40 hours is considered 'not working hard', people are being monitored when they enter or exit office building. Team members steal others idea and it is encouraged. Hard working and sincere people get sidelined and incompetents reap all the benefits.

Pros

Small enough to be able to get things done. Market leader. A decent product and once you had customers they were generally there to stay.

Cons

- growing pains - global integration not quite there - portal for customers is a dog - too many sales people given the market size - not mac friendly in general
