Pros

Smart, passionate, fun-loving colleagues who keep the mood light and the pace fast. Flat organizations rule. Great facilities – clean, professional, uncluttered, with plenty of space and sunshine. A place where 'forgiveness' is valued over 'permission'. A place where 'take risks and recover quickly' is lived every day. Customers are raving fans of our product.

Cons

If you have an ego, or want to climb the 'corporate ladder', this is not for you.

Advice to Management

Too many VPs are being brought in from the outside rather than promoted from the inside. VPs are great; however, they create work for everyone else. We're not hiring many folks below the VPs, so more VPs mean conflicts for priorities within the groups that need to get the work done. Slow down the hiring.
