Business outlook
Pros
Technology and engineering lead company, with a fantastic culture and good prospects. Engineers were given the space to innovate and succeed. The company made a great effort to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas, arranging yearly Tech Zone events that were also fantastic social events.
Cons
Bought by Cisco in 2010. Consensus based approach to decision making was slow and lead to flip-flopping. HQ in Oslo sometimes made it difficult to convince management of ideas from outside of Norway. Market leader in a limited market that may have been overrun by neighbouring bigger markets with the big tech players.
