      Great Opportunities But Getting to Be a Big Company

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Generally great smart people with high integrity. Huge growth = opportunities for effective people.

      Cons

      Getting big and harder to get things done. By now it takes more time to communicate and agree on change than to code it. Some of the newer hires don't get how to collaborate and work with others or how to DO vs. direct. Group think causes a lot missteps - though people are smart enough and work hard enough to adjust and fix. Of course this is better than analysis paralysis.

      Senior program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture and product keep this company growing. Tremendous customer appetite for the product. Great managers who really look after their people. Company can be very generous. Overall extremely pleased with my choice and have remained for 5 years. It's truly a great opportunity

      Cons

      Silos between product and services and skill sets are not often appreciated internally when transferring. Recent joiners may not be as passionate about the product.

      Old company masquerading as a start-up

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good general culture - Amazing product - Fun company events

      Cons

      - Heavy on procedure and paperwork - Recruiting is weak - Seems like about 80% of the company is "just out of school" inexperienced people - Culture differs dramatically from department to department and manager to manager (night and day) - No one is interested in change - Very bad hiring practices. Onboard bad talent and keep them forever
