Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting products, friendly people, comfortable place to live and work

Cons

Management has a product roadmap but no technology roadmap. The software teams are forced to use outdated tools and practices because the products use a proprietary operating system that is outdated and needs to be deprecated. Pay is not competitive with the market. Lots of top performers have left the company.
