Pros
The people at Crossbeam were all very conscientious, were very good at what they did, and worked together as teams.
There was opportunity to grow there when I first started.
They have a very interesting, technically complex product.
Cons
Business model that depends on independent software vendors IP is a non-starter. Company cannot grow as currently configured, and growth opportunities disappeared for employees.
Investor buyout has triggered severe austerity measures, including downsizing by >25%; company stock options vaporized as part of buyout.
