Pros

The people are fantastic. The New Zealand culture is very family oriented and provides many opportunities for life/work balance. Awesome market with lots of opportunity. The product is easy to use and most customers are fanatical about the value SLI delivers... however...

Cons

The space is becoming crowded and "search" is quickly becoming a commodity. The lack of extra cash to invest in innovation and expansion is sure to weigh heavy on the future of SLI. I see further issues with retaining employees, mostly due to their lack of cash and inability to pay market rates for good people.

Pros

-Flexible, truly invested in their employees well being, interesting product with lots of potential. -Global company with very distinct cultures in each location. -They have moved fast and made great strides. -Amazing training program (both professional and personal growth) -Benefits are pretty good. -Most of the top Leadership is approachable and interactive -Great starting place for a recent college graduate. -Standing desks

Cons

Compensation - definitely on the lower end of Silicone Valley, but then they are in Downtown San Jose. C & VP Leadership - poor communication, mixed messages, an overall avoidance for stepping up and doing the hard things, till its too late. Politics: For the size of company, there are a lot of politics and complicated processes, and a general blame game when things go wrong. Promotion and career growth can be pretty limited.
