Pros

As others have mentioned the work environment is the best I have ever worked at. No micro managing and you are treated as an professional. The talent level here is top notch and I enjoy learning from my colleagues each day. Although Alfresco is getting larger and growing it still feels small. As such you are expected to perform, be creative and willing to adapt quickly as situations change. Some might find this is a problem, but being able to quickly pivot based on customer/market/board input even at this size for me is a sign of a very healthy company. <BR> Salary and benefits are very competitive and I feel higher than competitors. Significantly in some cases. Top sales people do very well. <BR> From a sales/competitive perspective, being the only enterprise level open source Content Management Software makes it a hot company to work at with great growth potential. This is especially true given the worldwide move to open source technologies. We are regularly replacing legacy systems at those competitors largest customers.

Cons

Marketing has had issues in the past. With some additional hires and newer strategy it is starting to pay off.

Pros

Flexible schedules in most departments, good benefits, pay consummate with the industry, and most employees are hard-working, honest people who just want to do good work. It basically stops there.

Cons

Where do I even start? The main issue with Alfresco is their "get it done" workplace culture, which in practice ultimately amounts to leadership handing down haphazard decisions and making empty promises to their teams on things they don't know they can deliver, and then the ground-level employees have to make it happen regardless of the level of support, direction, or any other necessary components to get the job done correctly. It's that stereotypical corporate nonsense where the executives spend their time "making decisions" and then never thinking through the consequences of those decisions. I hate to be crass, but it's a complete joke. Across the org, there's also zero accountability for collaboration-- it's usually as simple as someone saying "no thanks," or "that's not my job," which is something I've never encountered elsewhere as being acceptable behavior. C-Levels are generally fine and intelligent people, but it's pretty much guaranteed that under that, you never know what you're dealing with. It's a recipe for disaster, and goes against pretty much any reasonable advice on how to run an intelligent and forward-thinking business.
