Pros

It is a unique company in terms of its tech. They have extremely complicated engineering challenges. The early programmers produced a truly remarkable product.

The company is generous with regards to perks, food, and etc.

Cons

The R&D culture borders on bullying. The leading characters are aggressive, controlling, and lacking in trust. Experienced programmers have come and gone, leaving the company with mostly inexperienced workers. If you want to feel appreciated and respected, this is not the place for you. The atmosphere is stagnant, perhaps even melancholic.

Business performance appears fair, but not much more than that.

Advice to Management

The company has probably made the most of its R&D potential. You will not be able to attract the talent you need with your existing reputation.

Either make some radical changes in your senior management, or make sure you have a quick exit strategy.
