Pros

Nice location, friendly work environment

Cons

I was very moved shortly after the acquisition when the new management promised visibility, transparency, honesty, and straightforwardness. I have nothing but respect for such values. However, actions have repeatedly indicated that the new management team does not actually care for these values, and choose to say what we want to hear rather than being honest about what they are going to do. They sent out a survey about our benefits because they claimed "we don't make decisions without data," and then proceeded to cut one of the top-rated perks as outlined in the survey anyway. They promised the lay-offs were "done" before another round of layoffs, and then the closure of an entire office. There is no trust left between employee and employer. There isn't any stability or faith, and we are all waiting to see what happens next. The tension has not subsided in the many long months since the acquisition, and I do not foresee it subsiding any time soon.

Pros

Great work environment, filled with smart people, most of whom are able and willing to do what it takes to get good work done, quickly. Innovating in new areas based on deep expertise in its core area. Remarkably respectful culture that people at all levels take seriously. Most technical managers do "real work" too, which keeps communication flowing and expertise current.

Cons

Some silos still between engineering and marketing, but this is getting better as people step up. Some tension between (most) people working hard to evolve and make new things, and (a few) people complaining about why it can't be like it was in The Old Days. Not much of a con, though - there are always complainers in any company.
