Pros

I literally can not think of a positive for this company.

Cons

The management team is pitiful. Joyent is completely controlled by a team within Samsung. The Joyent leadership team is not allowed to make decisions. This includes technology selections, project priorities and hiring. Instead, almost all decisions are made by very incompetent Samsung employee's that feel they are smarter than everyone at Joyent. I personally have never been treated this poorly in my life. This Samsung team is a group of nasty, mean, lying and back stabbing people. The "Samsung Way" is to try not to be directly responsible for anything and then just to blame others. The culture is completely broken at this company. Hands down the worst company I have ever worked for. If you are thinking of working here, don't do it. If the Samsung team doesn't like you, they won't fire you. They will just make your life miserable until you quit.

Pros

The company is going through massive much needed changes. Many of the people at the company are smart and hardworking. There is a focus on making people happy and fixing the problems. There is fresh leadership, staff, and new energy.

Cons

There has been a lot of turnover. There are a lot of problems to fix. There is a lot of change happening, and a lot of uncertainty about priorities, consistency, who is making decisions, and what the next steps should be. Basically, change is hard. Morale is up and down. There are a lot of new managers in a company that traditionally had very few. They all want to make a mark, but there is a lot of questionable leadership and decisions be made.
