Pros

At the time, everyone was really great and friendly. The buildings were modern and the cubicles were roomy (until they downsized them). The thing I miss most is the cafeteria; it had great food every day, so I didn't have to worry about making lunch or going anywhere. The salary was decent.

Cons

They are having an annual layoff now. Rumors are they'll have a second layoff this year. Company revenue is declining and they aren't innovating.

I'm sure they are trying to keep afloat, and they'll be okay for years to go thanks to their cash on hand, but all the signs are there. Unless they perform a miracle, they're going down.

Advice to Management

Don't screw up Solidfire. It might be the only hope.
