      Software for obsolescent platform

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good communications with management, working on products that needed a broad range of understanding.

      Cons

      The design of hand held devices accelerated so rapidly that this form of text entry became obsolete. The underlying engine and databases could be re-purposed, but the clients that the company served were not able to be significant players in the next generation of consumer products.

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Technically the products are interesting to work with and lead the market. Get to play with the latest cellphones. Nice mix of cultures.

      Cons

      Never enough time/money to get things done properly. Being sued by the competition all the time if a real pain in the a*$.

      Good place to learn mobile dev skills, but management lacked direction/focus

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -- Small company (~75 employees) means "everybody knows everybody"; better personal relationships with the broader team. -- Ability to learn cutting-edge technologies in the growing area of mobile s/w development. -- Flexible working hours.

      Cons

      -- Lack of customers for newer product lines, due to poor sales/marketing department. -- Constantly changing direction from upper management caused frustration in technical teams, who were unable to concentrate and/or complete projects to the required level of quality. -- On-going financial problems which ultimately led to Zi being acquired by Nuance in April 2009, at which time approximately 90% of Zi employees were laid off.
