Pros

SugarSync is extremely well-run and the culture is excellent. And business results are now rapidly improving. It wasn't always the case. About a year ago, this was a very different place, and the company was in bad shape. Then new management came on board and things started rapidly improving.

Cons

The company hasn't been able to innovate as rapidly as I would like, because it's been necessary to fix a lot of mistakes that were made in the past. But we're now starting to accelerate.

Pros

- Interesting core technology - Hard technical challenges, opportunities for learning - Decent benefits for a startup - Operations team is very good

Cons

- New CEO Mike Grossman has been a strong negative. Many employees have left under his tenure and the company is worse off as a result. - Grossman has hired/promoted friends and former colleagues, and some (but not all) of them have had questionable qualifications for their roles. - The new management structure has led to politics and empire building among the managers at the company, even though they publicly talk about honest and openness. - All the talk about "values" seems to be a smokescreen: the management team does not actually live up to to the standards they promote. - It doesn't seem like there is a place for this company in the market. The competition is very strong and better funded. In the big picture, it's hard to see a positive future for SugarSync other than an acquisition. And it's not clear who would want to buy the company, especially since a large number of key people have left. I don't think keeping the former CEO would necessarily have saved the company, but Grossman has not helped.

Pros

Smart team. Fun culture. Respectful attitudes of fellow employees. Positive work environment. Great mix of humans. Management actively seeks out employee input to constantly improve product and company. Overall vibe is tremendously positive.

Cons

The usual cons with being a fast moving start up, but in the grand scheme they are minor and common to many companies in competitive markets.
