      Pros

      - technical challenges - Many very talented staff - A lot of free software guys like yourself.

      Cons

      - No sales no good salary. - No sales little career path. - Average wages for technical staff. - Consulting, engineering and support are at the lower side of the chain. - Lots of unpaid overtime. As a consequence many of the very skilled people in europe who raise the company to the $1B have left demotivated and tired of it.
