Innovative products and engineering but stifled business culture

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible products that inspire customers to design and create amazing things. 6 week paid leave every 4 years

Cons

Extremely siloed and a very limited traditional product development cycle that limits innovation. Huge emphasis on engineering (which is excellent) at the expense of good design and user research. This will be a huge problem as the company shifts to the cloud. The company needs to become more user focused. They are attempting but there are a lot of growing pains that need to be overcome.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Good Culture and work life balance depending on the team. Fosters a good sense of community via community outreach programs, and volunteering opportunities.

Cons

The groups that I have worked in seem to be resistant to change. People that have been with the company for a long time seem to have carved out their spot in the company and are reluctant to give up what they have. Really hard for people joining the company to get ramped up. Lots of antiquated processes. Poor implementation of technology is a recurring problem.
