Pros

Cool products to sell Great employees which create a friendly work environment Office downtown San Francisco with easy access to Muni, buses and bart Decent number of vacation days provided

Cons

Products are launched too early at very random timing Company sells in too many countries and can't provide a reliable support locally Customer support is understaffed which doesn't provide the best customer experience Very fragile top-management organization that evolves every 6 months which doesn't allow to build strong foundations in the subsidiary Employees not paid at the market level No career growth plan for employees Tied to a French headquarters which slows down the decision-taking process drastically Very low benefits for employees (rarely pays bonuses, no lunch provided) Very fast and competitive market and company is too slow at upgrading and keeping up with innovation HR onsite not knowledgeable about US labor laws and the market

Pros

Great enginering company to work with when you are crazy about high tech products. Lot of smart people in there and a real pleasure to work with them.

Cons

Very political especially within the head management. Seems to be a company where is good to be for a short period of time, and then move and create your own start-up.

Pros

- Most colleagues are nice - Interesting products

Cons

- They've fired over 200 people last year. - Current employees have to do the job of those who left + their own job. - They replace employees with interns. - Employees who weren't fired are leaving (two people quitting per week min.) - Remaining employees have too much on their plates and are close to a burn out. - Very little collaboration. Working with other departments can quickly be your worst nightmare. - It's common knowledge that if the CEO doesn't like you, he will publicly let you know and on multiple occasions. He'll also come up with random rules whenever he feels like it. - Salaries are below average. - They've stopped getting employees fruit baskets to "make it clear that now their jobs is at risk".
