An okay place to work, sometimes with long hours

Principal software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, professional atmosphere, good management. There was a bump in the number of vacation + floating holidays from 13 to 18 while I was there, which was really generous. When I was laid off as part of a product sale, I received a fair severance package.

Cons

The hours extended into evenings and weekends frequently. The sale of the part of the company I worked for came as a complete surprise. I would have put more in savings and less into my retirement fund had I known it was coming.

A decent but not great place to work.

Principal engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This probably varies greatly depending on the team, but its a pretty low stress place to work, not much micromanagement, co-workers are generally great to work with.

Cons

Benefits and wages are average at best. Advancement is practically non-existent, the company would rather bring in outside talent rather than prepare existing employees to move up. Red tape is very thick. Job will be farmed out to a low cost country if its practical to do so, or outsourced entirely.
