Pros

- Working with smart and friendly people - Working on a great product

Cons

- Management isn't honest: you interview for one job but end up doing another - Management will expect you to work long hours and weekends quite often - Need to maintain terribly written code. It's amazing the product even works with such below-par code (actually, many times it doesn't).

We appreciate your feedback. Being honest is one of our core competencies, we invest in reflecting the information to all our employees. We are first and foremost committed to our clients and the great product as you described it. At times, this requires changes of priorities which might mean change of developer’s activities. Even in a great product like ours, there are still technical debt which we are investing substantial resources in improving, the next version coming out is a result of this investment. As a father to two children, I’m highly committed to create a good stress-reduced environment and supports work-like balance. We provide the best equipment to our developers and enable them to take the work home, we provide flexibility on doing a day from home when possible. Having said that, and as stated before, our customers count on us to provide quick solutions to problems they face. This means that we are each required to give extra to continue and provide this highly available, scalable and high performance great product. Thanks again for your feedback and I wish you best of luck in your new endeavor.
