Pros

Compensation plans, although constantly changing are pretty friendly.

Cons

High stress placed on sales due to trickling down pressure from Vista. Moved offices which increased the commute for over 60% of employees without adding a more flexible work schedule(work from home days, leaving a little earlier to avoid hours of traffic). Company being shopped around by Vista for potential sale. Products are outdated.. not written in the latest programming languages making it difficult to show customers a product future worth buying into. outsourcing many jobs overseas to reduce operating costs and increase EBITDA, which is all they care about.

We appreciate the feedback. Private equity ownership has been critical for our business, as it has allowed us the opportunity to re-invest in our customer base and in our products – many of our products had not been invested in properly in the past and over the past 18+ months, we have been able to deliver on many functional and technical enhancements for our existing and new customers. Many of our customers have responded positively to these changes. We still have work to do to improve, but we are definitely making good progress. A private equity owner is always looking for new investments in the companies they own and that should be seen as positive, as we are a company that has potential and one that other companies are interested in investing in. Regarding our office space - in order to operate more effectively, we moved to a work space that allows for much greater collaboration and team work, which I have seen improve our team's productivity. While it did increase the commute for some (less than 50% of the workforce), it decreased it for others. Additionally, we provide a flexible environment where working from home is always an option.

Pros

Great environment, the culture is truely incresible

Cons

Slight last of confidence in the future. Recent re-orgs, very single threaded in critical support areas, and ambiguity around when functionalities/tech will be launch give a bit of concern.

Pros

The salary is good if you negotiate at entry into the company. They also have a good bonus structure when you hit the marks and get it. People in product and services are generally good people.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent, if you get promoted, it is almost as if you didn't get a raise. Being in services is almost like living under a rock, you will not get visibility in any other area of the company. Extremely HIGH turnover in consultants and leadership. Not somewhere I would recommend somewhere who wants to learn and continuously grow in their career in the long term.
