Pros

Excellent products Smart people Family lunch twice/week

Cons

Salaries are well below the tech industry average. Current goal is to reduce costs significantly to prepare the books for an IPO. There is a massive turnover in the sales department as the culture has changed from visionary to mercenary. The focus is immediate financial gain and short-term results, often at the expense of employee well-being and long-term sustainability. Usually, in a mercenary culture, employees are paid extremely well to deal with the high pressure, however that is not the case here. As people leave, their responsibilities are given to those who remain and the positions are not back filled.
