Corel is going down the drain.

Pros

Flexible work environment where the results are the most important thing and not when you do it. I often telecommuted. Note: this was in the US and I do not think that other locations have as much flexibility. The pay was very competitive and benefits ok.

Cons

Corel is HQ in Canada with offices in Taiwan, US, and China. They have had many layoffs and have moved most development to Taiwan and China. They laid-off a very experienced team in the US and moved the development to a smaller team in Taiwan with less experience and little knowledge of the code base.

Pros

The General Manager of my division was the reason I joined the company. He was inspiring and made you believe in this division's future.

Cons

It was challenging to deal with the changes when our CEO left for another job, and a new interim CEO joined.
