Pros

flexible working time, diversified products, pretty good pay for old dogs company is making good progress, job security is good in a few years

Cons

compensation dropped as fast as the revenue increased technically no more vacation day, but everyday is vacation day if you are good buddy of your boss career development is majorly based on the personal relationship with higher level people. If you are somebody’s "brother/sister/tennis partner", you can grab others credits and promoted quickly even if you didn't do much or messed up a lot. Otherwise, just wait years to get your turn.

Pros

Benefits are great! The equity was a nice part of compensation, but that is getting phased out. Co-workers were really great

Cons

You can never move up in the company. They trust unknowns from outside rather than giving current empliyees a chance. The environment is very political and demotivating.

Chaos! No one in management looks more than a few days ahead....

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people you'll work with are smart. Lots of hiring has been going on recently in an attempt to properly staff some projects that have been understaffed for months or years.

Cons

Everything about this company is on the decline. Compensation, especially stock compensation, has fallen dramatically, both for new hires and for retention grants with existing employees. The quality of the cafe food and IT support has been declining, the number of social engagements with other employees has been cut to zero (not even a formal holiday party last year), and this is all concurrent with a rising number of projects and customer commitments. Those who have been there are trying to find their way out and the new ones coming in don't have a good reference point for how good this company used to be.
