      Pros

      Great people doing the actual work. Most are highly committed to the products they are making and the industries they are serving. Lots of great ideas.

      Cons

      Constant reorganizations poor communication up and down the management chain little opportunity for advancement a tendency to throw the baby out with the bathwater every time there is some new direction lots of internal politics by managers trying to please their managers

      Pros

      Really great and smart people. It is a very respectful environment. Established and good employee programs - benefits etc. Some locations are very cool - Market Street, Pier 9, .Tel Aviv. it is an organization that values people, is respectful and wants to succeed. Working hard in some orgs to transform the business - feels like pushing a boulder up the hill. Some leaders are great and some are so weak it is almost a joke.

      Cons

      Political, allows people to float through the company, not great at bringing in new talent. CEO team is too engrained in the past - they are invested in the status quo. Not incented to do anything innovative. Carl Bass is smart and a great technical leader. They need a true visionary with some energy as CEO. No vision in the CTO org....it is more of a playground. How does that translate into important innovation or revenue. Pier 9 really?? spend millions and cannot hire new talent because there is not budget?....come on.....

      I have worked here for over a decade and have never once wanted to look outside the company for another job!

      Pros

      I have been lucky to have great managers and work with smart, talented people. I love the culture (flexibility, work-life balance, great benefits and you can bring your dog to work!).

      Cons

      It would be great to see more people move up from inside the company rather than hiring from outside.
