Business Outlook

Pros

Fast pace, new initiatives, new products, enthusiastic leadership, new customers. Good teamwork in sales, marketing and product. I was in sales and it was a good experience.

Cons

There were 2 or 3 vocal people complaining about relationships that they themselves were caught up in. Those people are gone now. Good team, good culture.

A diamond in the rough. Great company with lots of potential.

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast growing, energetic feel. Great people. Ethical. Career advancement potential. It is a company with good fundamentals, a great strategy, and on the right track. Surprisingly very little bureaucracy for a public company its size. They have hired a lot of really talented and experienced people in the last few years which has greatly benefited the knowledge base of the company. A lot of recent investment in people development.

Cons

There are some growing pains as the company has rapidly grown and is expanding quickly with a global presence. However, growing pains are normal and company management has good vision and sets right culture to meet the challenge. You need to be someone with realistic perspective and be patient with (and be excited about) the constant continuous improvement projects. If you're someone who is uncomfortable with change, this isn't the place for you.

Modern office, cafeteria.

Cons

Outdated policies and culture that don't fit with the new renovations. Far too many managers & directors. Little to no work/life balance, plan on working 50-70 hours per week minimum.
