Too slow

Pros

The company gives a lot of nice perks, free breakfast and cookies, annual weekend outings, random celebration events.

Cons

The company moves so slow letting process get in the way of progress and losing ground to open source. They dominate a few industries, but try and cover too much ground with tew few resources. Company has a very top down approach which slows things down further and prevents any innovation. Even the office chairs need owner approval. Company has almost 5k people and only 1 makes any decisions, simply inneficient. No career growth to be had unless you are a fresh grad. Many people seem to be here for the ease of life, but if you want to challenge yourself and grow look elsewhere. If you want to simply cruise mode your career and are willing to sacrifice growth, this is the place for you.

Pros

Great products Making a real difference to the world Parts of the organization are great to work in Process driven Lots of training and support provided to new hires to ramp up CEO is inspiring and Cleve Moler!

Cons

Politics and toxic culture from some senior managers. Teams fight with one another for key projects If you're not in the clique, you can be frozen out of projects Several low performers who didn't quit and are now in key positions (based on tenure) Expanding in India and growth in US is very slow Quality Engineering department in quite toxic, avoid it if you can
