SmartSignal, a fine start-up company - Anonymous employee SmartSignal Employee Review

Incredibly talented employees and overall company. Great alignment of departments, goals, and an intense focus. One of the best places that I've ever worked. Fun, Fast, Interesting, Leading Edge, great customers, and great team of people really making a huge difference. Awesome products and technology.

Alas, not all startups can maintain the spirit, environment and culture after an acquisition by a gigantic corporation that is a billion times the size. (OK, more than that.) The HR manager had some passive aggressive issues.

salary plus bonus was competitive until the buyout

Being part of a huge conglomerate just isn't fun or rewarding anymore.
