Pluspunten

Seasoned startup with good financial standing: the flexibility and opportunity for significant contribution to the company's success with a moderate amount of risk. As with many companies: the people are what make the company. In general, I enjoy working with the folks here who play relatively well together. For the most part I've been fortunate to work in a very cooperative group where ego takes second place to delivering product.

Minpunten

There seems to be a lot of office politics for a company of its size along with the usual finger pointing and back stabbing when things don't go right. The most frustrating thing is the lack of overall business communications: I understand that my role as a developer is to focus on coding and delivering product but it's nice to see at least some of the business and strategic rationale used when making some of the bigger company decisions...especially when it relates to product roadmap, demos and the like.

Pluspunten

InnoPath had signficant potential in the mobile space. It has a relatively strong presence on the carrier side as well as the handset side. It also has reasonable IP & dedicated employees. It has potential which it needs to exploit.

Minpunten

The company is driven from the top by the CEO. He is a complete micro-manager, even though he claims that he wants to let go. Additionally, he has a temper which has manifested itself on many occasions. The exec staff is not cohesive & tends to be disfunctional as a result. Because the fear that the CEO instills in the organization, his VPs are unwilling to stand up to do the correct thing for the business. The CEO also believes that he is a subject matter expert in all areas - engineering, marketing, HR, sales, and operations. He has overrriden his organization multiple times with little information; this has sometimes had disastrous results. The exec staff, particularly the CTO, is quite political. The CEO allows this type of behavior and on occasion fosters it. ICs tend to be demoralized because of years of promises of doing an IPO. Fostering this have been promises of salary increases but most people have not seen an increase in 3+ years.
