      I get to do what I love to do

      Pros

      I work remote. They care more about results than hours worked. I get to work with the open source community. The managers have a high respect for their engineers. Everyone I work with is a team player, there's no dead weight. It's hard to write 20 words about the"cons" of working here ;-)

      Cons

      They really want you to share hotel rooms when you travel. You have to give weekly status reports. You have to take ethics training once a year (via online).

      Great company - plan to stick around for a long time

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great company to work for. I've been there for many years, and it still has a small-ish feel even though it has grown 5x (employees) during that time. Most of my coworkers in the engineering department are smart, motivated, and good to work with. They stick to their principles of open source. Communication internally is very good. I feel like in general, the company cares about their employees and tries (within reason) to make us happy. It's a stable environment and I've never felt any concerns about layoffs or downsizing - if anything it's the opposite (growing pains).

      Cons

      Of all the jobs I've had internally, I've found management to be very hands-off. i.e. "You know what you need to do, so do it". At times I've wished I had more direction, but I'd take that over a micromanager.
