Great benefits. The division is growing, though not as quickly as before. There are many great people to work with (my immediate team is really, truly fantastic). Nice location.

The new building is an awful workspace. It tries to be trendy but completely fails functionally. There has always been a certain mild cultural bankruptcy that is hard to pin down. This was once overcome by the excitement and growth of Omniture, but no longer. It has become much more top-heavy, big-brother, and over-environmentalist. If you like that kind of thing, this is the place for you!

Listen to your employees. Treat them with respect. Help them grow. Don't simply reflect everything back on them. Learn how to lead, manage, and praise human beings. Choose supporting technologies that make sense and make the tough decisions you know are right.
