      Generally unsatisfying employer

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reasonably smart people, interesting products. The company has found a niche that it serves well and is generally good at executing a plan to serve that niche.

      Cons

      * Management team manages by intimidation. I witnessed (and in a few cases experienced) extremely unprofessional behavior by senior execs that was meant to make the victim certain that management is in charge. * Engineering employees' jobs are always at risk. Much of the front line coding is done offshore.

      Perfect if you don't want much from a sales job

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits. Good job for someone with 2-3 sales experience who wants to make $60k. Not bad for a 24-25 year old. Easy transactional sale. Just do the same thing every day and you can make money. Buddy up to the managers/directors and just "follow the model." Not much to think about, really.

      Cons

      No training. No management. Won't learn a new skill-set to progress your career. Very, very difficult to make $100k

      Can be good, but watch your back

      Product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very good geek culture, and lots of great people to work with. This company will go places. Lots of opportunities to learn.

      Cons

      Very top-heavy management, and a lot of the rank and file don't think too highly of some of the VP and SVP's. When you get there, find a protector. The marketing dept experienced almost a complete turnover in 2011, this coupled with the growing pains is going to make 2012 a bumpy year, I think. They are trying to expand beyond their traditional products via acquisitions and new types of products. There will be more shakeups before they're on steady ground again.
