Pros

Management doesn't overwork people. If we can't make a deadline, then we cut off features.

Great benefits and salary compared to other tech companies.

Lots of intelligent people working in the company.

Great gym, carwash facility, and basketball, tennis, or volleyball area.

Great bonus payout.

Cons
  • Company is in constant flux, so expect to move cubicles every 3 months.
  • There's a lack of talent in the web area. They make Symbian programmers do PHP programming, which results in poor output.
  • Promotion can be hard to come by if you don't stick to your team for a long time.
  • Most of the people seemed content with what they have. There's no feeling of innovation at all.
  • Too much reorganization; senior management does not know what they want.
