Pros

It focuses on a niche market and has been stable for a while.

Cons

The management is pretty cheap. There is no basic transparency. A lot of under-the-table deals.

If you work for some powerful boss, you could turn rich. If you work for some powerless boss, you are tired to death and get nothing.

No vision and no strategy, no committee, just following one word. Mediocre management just pushes tasks to engineering without basic engineering sense. Even CEO and CTO fight for their awards.

Nobody knows why there are CEO awards. Suddenly there is a big CTO award ;)

Advice to Management

Make the rule and follow it.
