Pros

Outstanding technology.

Extremely bright co-workers.

Fast-growing company.

Customers love the product.

The vast majority of your colleagues are fun.

Cons

All senior leadership positions are filled with outsiders.

Opportunities for advancement are null. One person is promoted to manager for every 20 senior VP positions, with folks from MarkLogic.

Some egos are a little bit too big.

Advice to Management

Your assumption that all "early" day employees do not know how to work in a "big" company is wrong.

People were here early because they believed in the message, the company, and the people, not because they could not get a job at IBM.
