Pros

Good company that is going places. Promotes work life balance. Nice people. Great CEO.

Cons

Some management encourages unethical practices. One sales manager is very inexperienced and does not provide useful training. The manager lacks actual sales experience and pushes for high numbers even when quality is bad.

Depressing work environment for Tech guys

Business Outlook

Pros

Business is still good, there are some great people to work with

Cons

Communication skills is the only thing you need to be successful at any role in this company. Core technical people don't survive in this kind of environment. Other departments try to close this gap and bring aboard people who have no idea what moving parts this product have.
