Its an OK place to work - Software Engineer bei Zi: Mitarbeiterbewertung

-- 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.

-- 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.

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

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