Cutting edge technology, small work groups, accepting of new ideas, competent technical staff. Great place to work if you don't mind the risk of not getting paid on a regular basis.
Cons
Some financial problems that were addressed by withholding pay for a period of months. This dependence on the the employees as reluctant investors showed a creative way to keep the company moving forward without resorting to layoffs.
Tremendous disruptive product that has been without a consumer home for ~ 20 years
Cons
- Oppressive and narcissistic management - Vertical management structure with a single point of decision - 20 year start up with same President CEO that never trusted the intelligent people in the staff that could have produced a benchmark next-gen networking solution
