Pros

Good work environment, software was needed in the pharmaceutical industry. One felt like they were contributing to getting better medicine to market faster and more efficiently.

Cons

The target industry for software is slow to adopt new solutions, mostly due to the federal regulations and size of consumer companies

Pros

Great colleagues, that's probably the best. Some folks try to please customers and be successful (= make money) as a result of satisfied customers. But the current culture does not really support this. The products are great and many customers rely on Certara to continue to provide the tools that they need, so financially the company is stable - so the management says.

Cons

Notoriously understaffed for the work that needs to be done. As a result, most people, including management are busy fighting fires and have never the time to think ahead. Combine this with lack of leadership and you find that no corporate values have nearly vanished. Little chance of learning and applying leading edge technologies in software development.

Pros

Flexible, Relative good pay and people are nice to work with. Small company allow you to work with your own step.

Cons

It has too much disruption at work by meetings. The management has a bad style. The management team cares about quick money and would never think about their own staff's development.
