Pros

There are still some people trying to make the things better. Some teams have an outstanding culture and attitude. Free catering twice a week. Career opportunities, if you have the right attitude and know the right people. Solid salaries.

Cons

The company is a text-book example of the Peter principle. Top management does not have a long-term vision, priorities are changing too often. Middle managers have no idea what they are doing. For the number of products, the company has too few employees to maintain them all. Technologies and products are getting obsolete very fast. Micro management

Pros

The office is in Boulder, which is way better than Austin

Cons

Your an underpaid, under respected indentured servant. Management very well may tell you to do something inappropriate to a vendor in order to receive a PO. No HR to report to when said comments are made.
