Pros

Friends, ok project. Average technology used

Cons

Old technology, layoff almost each year that too randomly. Your name could be one of them at any point of time. No matter how good your project is going on. What resignation you are. Your job almost on risk. Better join some other company instead risking your career.

Pros

They have money and your job is not secure so negotiate aggressively. Ability to work from home when needed.

Cons

Weak and/or emotional senior leadership is unable to manage concurrent priorities and thrashes the organization from one emergency to the next. Inability to coordinate and prioritize needs across departments guarantees constant discovery of unplanned emergencies. Pervasive and ingrained culture of 'work harder (not smarter)' translates to a culture of continual OT and weekend work. In the last 18 months my staff have worked essentially every weekend. Institutionalized system of squelching staff performance ratings prevents realistic career recognition and meaningful career paths. Employees treated as interchangeable Mc-units. Employees are asked to give up approved PTO to work OT on a promise that the time will be given back... then they're laid off without receiving the time or compensation. Senior leadership says whatever is required with an 'end justifies the means' mentality and feels no obligation to it's workers. Senior management has next to zero understanding of Software Development and continually generates technical debt and employs haphazard and inefficient methodologies. As a result, software technology here is in an advanced state of decay and extraordinary events are required to move software forward. This is a company that will let go of their domestic tech workforce and restaff it in India to shift how it's financial numbers look for investors... at your expense.

Pros

- Some very knowledgeable and collaborative colleagues, who have been with the company for a long time (i.e. more than 5 years). - Capable middle management, with some managers being with the company for a long time. - Good process management, using Scrum and Kanban methodology, with current team transitioning from three-week sprints to two-week sprints starting in 2020. - Good work/life balance, as managers discourage you from working overtime (on nights and weekends), unless a deadline needs to be met.

Cons

- Product technology is outdated (VB6 UI layer, with .NET business layer), and is transitioning to more modern platform, but that will not be in effect until a couple years down the road. - Like most big software companies, departments still operate in silos (Development vs. services vs. support). - Company stock price is a bit on the lower side, despite sizeable market share and growth potential. - Compensation is on the lower to average scale, not surprising given the current technology stack, and there is no annual bonus.
