Very smart people, but an overwhelming amount of politics that often conflicts with doing right for the customer.

Product marketing manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively fluid environment, routinely work at home or at 1 of 2 offices. Opportunity to exchange with very bright co-workers.

Cons

Poor level of motivation due to an atmosphere of profound politics. The customer was often an afterthought to the goal for the quarter. Far, far too many layers of management.

Beware of middle management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented and passionate colleagues. Great communication from the CEO on the direction of the company. Benefits are very good, and salaries are good.

Cons

Middle management can be suffocating. They work hard to get to that level but don't trust that anyone below can do as good of a job as they did. As a result, managers get caught up in the smallest details which demotivates people. Communication between teams is non existent. It's not a great environment right now, and people are leaving on a regular basis for other opportunties.
