Pros

A lot of the people there were awesome and great to work with. Some of the egos there were starting to show but overall the people were great.

Cons

The overall experience there working started off very strong. I loved it so much. Once the leadership on engineering changed, things started to deteriorate rapidly. They brought in a CTO, who I was excited to see what they could do and they did a re-org which I was not a true fan of. Then they pulled in a new Senior Director, for which I would have to report to. The first 5 minutes into meeting him, I knew I would not get along with them. You get that feeling in your gut that this person is going to be very tough and hard to work with. Well, that was 100% accurate. The fun times at NetDocuments started to turn into frustration, stress and a lot of health problems. For me, once I start having health problems, I know I need to move away from this person. I would not recommend working with him at all and since I have left, my stress is all gone and I enjoy my life, my family, and my new job. No job is perfect but this person really made this job into something terrible. 1 star, would not recommend.
