Pros

This really has been a pretty fun place to work. There are a great bunch of people, especially including my direct manager. The hours are very flexible with plenty of work-from-home opportunity, and really no off-hours support to speak of.

Cons

The one downside of hibu is its financial situation. The company has known for some time that they need a new direction in order to be successful, and had been working toward that approach. Coming out of restructuring, however, new management is not willing to make that investment. This has already resulted in many layoffs and, given the direction, I would be surprised if there were not more.

Completely chaotic higher management, no vision, no accountability

Pros

Really cannot think of any.

Cons

They recently moved to Agile in the Engineering disciplines but with the exception of the DBU they have no idea what they are doing. Higher management (directors/VPs) are generally clueless and either don't have a vision or what vision they may have they are not willing to stand behind. A lot of the company's engineering is focused in Operations and they couldn't engineer their way out of a paper bag. Very poor program management discipline on that side of the company and pseudo-waterfall Agile. 50+ people on morning "scrum" calls where only the doers talk - which means that 45 people listen for an hour while 5 people try to solve problems in real time. Insane. This company is quickly spiraling down. Get out now.

Pros

Great pay, good commision structure. Mangement wants you to win.

Cons

They need to figure out who they are. Internet company or a yellow page company
