Pros

Excellent engineers with substantial product knowledge and experience. A core "old guard" that are great to work with, work with great pride in their work and very customer oriented. Long-standing customer-company relationships that lead to solid product ideas. Was, especially the Infogenesis group in California, once a proud and gifted company with some great people throughout development, field and support operations. No more.

Cons

Toxic management environment. Terrible place to work. Little to no opportunity for advancement. Outmoded underlying technology for many products. Management that is unresponsive to both employees and customer needs. HR and possible legal risk to handling work visas and how it jobs are listed. Treats female employees terribly: this is NOT an equal pay-equal work company! When I entered management my female team members were, on average, making 52% of what the male team members were while doing same work. After years of trying to rectify this, was still unable to achieve parity due to executive and upper management resistance and barriers. I've heard that it is even worse since I retired. This company has gone down the wrong path. Do not believe reviews on glassdoor placed by management and HR about how things are all getting better. Even though I retired from this company, I still maintain inside and customer contacts.

Pros

None that I can think of ... even the coffee was mediocre

Cons

Where to start, how about with the CEO shipping all of the jobs to his home town in India, not caring about his employees enough to try and actually train them, a lack of training at all, a bad leadership team in general who has poor communication and no problem verbally abusing their team members and arguing amongst themselves

Pros

Some great people who really care about the products and our customers are still around.

Cons

Everything is going to India, and even worse, current US employees are being asked to train their Indian replacements. There is a new expectation that everyone will work around the clock, weekends, holidays and during their time off. Layoffs continue to happen, hitting every US location within every department of the company. US hiring seems to have halted altogether and the remaining employees are left with huge piles of work. Pay is not comparable to other large software development organizations. There is very little communication between offices and departments, which leads to constant duplication of efforts. The company is hiring all new developers out of India because they are cheap. Just because you can get 50 people for the price of 1 in the US doesn't mean that this is the approach we should take. Quality is more important that quantity, but this company doesn't believe in that.
