Pros

Interesting work, high quality of people and good working environment. Provide good work-life balanced and flexible work environment. Ability to work in different geographies.

Cons

It is not easy to change position or to grow at the company. The marketing and the business units are separate, and the cooperation between the two groups is not always perfect.

Pros

If you want a CEO that specializes is tanking the stock firing engineers, getting the company hijacked by private equity, and cheating employees out of their bonuses using magic company performance math, this is the company for you.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
