Great company - signs of used to be awesome but slowly heading the other way

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wicked smart co-workers, truly amazing work that's intellectually stimulating, good culture, most people are nice

Cons

Signs of "corporatization" and as the original founders pass the reign to the next set of leaders, its concerning they might slowly make OT lose its magic. Specifically, additional processes, red tapes, etc. At the same time, processes that need to work faster doesnt - e.g. expense. Lots of "non-producers" adding to dead weight and bureaucracies and not to mention adding to overweight cost. Not to sound brutal but I see lots of folks during Monday breakfast whom I'm not sure what they do - perhaps need some internal process/cost efficiency experts to review.

Very outdated company when it comes to technology

Pros

None comes to my mind

Cons

It's a very disappointing place to work for as a software engineer, 90% of the engineering and IT are outsourced to India. The technology they uses us 25 years old and I don't see it change any time soon.
