Pros: The people are the biggest pro. I worked as an engineer here for a couple of years with very hard-working and fun people. Management was open about the direction of the company and each employee's role in its future. We all put in a lot of time and effort, and we were recognized for going the extra mile. We tried to innovate and put out a solid product to satisfy our customers.

Cons: After the acquisition and the founders left, things started to change for the worse. The communication from upper management ceased, as did the incentive to give extra effort. New management made no attempt to get to know any of the employees. We began to more closely imitate our competitors when building new features, and it always felt like we were a few steps behind. This is not a terrible place to work, but if you're an engineer looking to use cutting-edge technologies, host meet-ups, release open-sourced projects, contribute to a useful tech blog (like the competitors), or climb the corporate ladder -- this is probably not the place for you.

Pros: Bonuses can be nice there.

Cons: A lot of unnecessary company-wide meetings.

Pros: You get paid, that's it. I cannot think of anything good about the team. I am not talking about the company; I am talking about the team.

Cons: The so-called new hire team rotation does not exist at all! When they hire, they give such an option. However, once you are placed in a team, you are dead. People: In the whole year, we have had only one team lunch (no outing at all). All my manager knows is to stand behind people and ask how it's going. Those nerds in my team never know how to have a life. All they talk about is going home and watching cartoons, and they are poor in communication with others; all are cynical. When I ask how to find something or can you give me a demo, they would say, "Go Google." Technology: They never know how old their technology is. Java for websites; they are not willing to use new stuff. You cannot find Spark, NoSQL, Redis, Docker, or whatever is industrial standard now. They use SOAP, HTML, Spring, all kinds of dead limbo stuff. Managers generally come for 3 years then leave. No one cares about long-term profit. Stocks: Company missed the market 3 times now, and it is only $50. The revenue is even lower than in 2014. I cannot think of any future. Promotion: Great people leave. My best buddy at the team is not at Google, and I am at another big company. When we reunite and talk, we both agree that managers do not know how to promote the right people. Salary raises cannot even counter inflation. People's titles do not even change after 3 years. Energy: I can only see people in their 40s in manager positions, which makes the whole company not energetic at all.
