Pros

Interesting work, industry leader, talented leadership team that truly cares and is in it for the long haul. Great core product.

Cons

Certain groups give annual promotions for hard work, sometimes double promotions, while other groups only promote the team all star. When there are no raises without promotions this leaves you confused as you go years without a raise and receive a pitiful bonus. Makes you lose motivation and not want to work hard. Management is focused on new products only and will eventually be faced with issues in the core product line. New middle management is not motivated due to worthless equity and it frustrates junior employees that have been loyal to the company for several years.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
