Pros

The company genuinely cares for it's employees and provides an exciting place to work and develop your skills. The product sets are great and are rated in the magic quadrants of all the analysts reports.

Cons

Now part of IBM so that makes it part of a very large company that is fairly inflexible and not as nice place to work.

Pros

- excellent colleagues, world class products which are market leading in many areas. Great development opportunities if you are up for it and interesting clients and projects.

Cons

- long working hours as one would expect. Great reliance on on-the-job training without any real room or opportunity to attend courses since expected to invoice. As working with any software vendor, focus on just one toolset but this is not significant to just Cognos
