Pros

Great work / life balance compared to other Silicon Valley companies. Good internal moral. Interesting range of different products to work on. The company treats the employees well and with respect.

Cons

Somewhat limited advancement opportunities due to smaller company size and very flat management structure, but this is dependent on which business unit one is working in. Compensation dollars are competitive, but stock growth is somewhat flat.

Enjoyed My Time There

Pros

Enjoyed working with the people. Most were very competent. Good benefits and bonus plan. Company is willing to get you the tools needed for the job. Good quarterly lunch and after work events. They try hard to balance high work demands with little but meaningful perks. Overall, a pretty good place to work.

Cons

Lots of overseas calls at night that you need to support. Many seem to thrive on how late they can schedule meetings and send emails out - I never got hassled for not responding to emails till morning so it didn't bother me that much, but I know others were expected to be responding to emails at any time, day or night. I believe they value their employees, but if they need to show profit, or make a quick shift, they'll layoff people pretty fast to make Wall Street happy.
