Pros

The technology is unique. But not leveraged as it should be. It's also a bit of a one trick pony, and they have divested other technologies and put all of their dollars onto the one horse!

Cons

The single most political organization I have ever worked for. The company is drenched in nepotism. With senior leaders hiring friends to help shore up their own positions. They are increasingly hiring more and more middle-management positions to create an 80's style hierarchal style of organization structure. This makes it very top heavy and means it's more difficult to communicate. They play lip service to their own corporate values.

Pros

People are nice Benefits are reasonable OEM relationships are a real advantage A lot of flexibility

Cons

Another executive (direct report of CEO) has left which the CEO tried to disguise with a bunch of promotions - none of which made sense. Quotas and GAFs are only just being issued 4 months into the year. Internal comms is terrible. Expect to find out about changes from public announcements or even LinkedIn. Acquisition made last year still doesn’t make sense

Cons

New management yet again, technology out of date, quota's are big against pipeline making earning potrential minimal, pay is low compared to industry standard.
