Pros

Perks - they're trying to retain people - with stuff like free lunch, sodas, and a semi-annual friendly ping pong tournaments. Potentially, it could get some decent projects and revenue growth, and it has a solid revenue base, so the stock options may well be worth one's time...(are they ever anymore?)As a moderate sized company, it still has some very small thinking (which can be refreshing, providing freedom) and yet...

Cons

401K contributions are lousy.

Turnover is generally high, especially in Silicon Valley.

Sometimes that small company mentality, which is a smaller mentality than it is, means the VP of Engineering has to approve your UNIX account...really???

Advice to Management

The perception is that there is a buddy-buddy-club of good friends of Sehat (CEO and founder)...and that makes it somewhat of a joke from time to time.
