Pros

Pretty relaxing place to work. All-around competent people. Doesn't skimp on technologies and tools to get the job done. Fresh fruit. Very nice office space, plenty of lounge areas.

Cons

Some of the long-timers are downers and have a certain fear of management in them that prevents them from innovating. Or perhaps they just sucked in the first place and are still around for some reason... I never understand why all the incoming fruit is never ripe when they come in yet it'll be all gone by Tuesday. I think people are just stock-piling fruit for when they get ripe the following week. Dang you hoarders!

Pros

Good portfolio of core software products (mostly through acquisition). Aliso Viejo headquarters is a great location away from the comparative urban mess of places like Irvine, where many OC high-tech companies reside.

Cons

Insufficient due diligence performed on some acquired products. It is better to write from scratch than acquire software with internal design problems that are almost impossible to fix.

Pros

Freedom to test new ideas Bright and collaborative people Rapid learning curves Access to aggressive sales force

Cons

Constantly changing sales focus stifles most long term initiatives Patchy innovation opportunities if your product is not in focus Have to know when to push and when to keep your head down If you want to move up you will have to burn the candle at both ends
