Pros

Nice work environment. Amazing colleagues. CEO sends out hilarious religious emails on Easter. Ok, maybe this is rather sad...

Cons

The lower management repeatedly made promises in order to keep the top performers but hasn't delivered. In retrospective it feels like they kept dangling a carrot in front of my face. I gave the company my best and received only a mediocre reward for my services. The high management of engineering (pre-acquisition, to be fair to the current folks) openly lied in the recent past, repeatedly. And not because telling the truth would compromise a business goal, strategy etc. There is simply no excuse for such behavior!

Pros

Interesting job where you meet mostly smart and nice colleagues. There is no fixed work time nor timesheets.

Cons

The company is going through an acquisition, so the future is rather uncertain. The regular employees do not know much about it. Parking place is very limited, but it is a problem of the whole area.
