Pros

Great co-workers! People are passionate about what they do, the products they create and our customers.

Cons

Long term experience at the company is not valued. Senior Management prefers to bring in new people, not promote or develop existing staff. You are expected to work 7 days a week and during vacations.

Can you survive the stress of uncertainty, or being laid off?

Pros

Teamwork atmosphere on projects, many very nice hard-working coworkers, work from home options, semi-casual dress, free coffee/tea/milk, and MANY catered lunches and company gatherings

Cons

The constant reorganization of teams and duties left many discouraged, unsure of who does what and fearful of job security. Management constantly boasts of "transparency", but then will make sweeping changes with little or no warning. Real concerns that talented people are being laid off because they may be more qualified to survive the upcoming merger than the managers/VPs doing the cuts. The stab-in-the-back atmosphere is driving more away as we've watched coworkers unjustifiably let go without cause or any believable explanation. This is "at will" employment at it's worst.

Pros

Immediate colleagues are great - hard working, smart, helpful and invested.

Cons

Chief Product Officer is an awful bully, as multiple reviews cite. There's no talking with your manager or HR about it - what's to be done? Senior Management has circled its wagons around a capricious, mercurial person who isn't even effective with the materials managed.
