Pros

Trust is given out easily here and I experienced no micro managing in any of my years here. They do manage by objectives which is nice if you like to be given freedom to do tasks your way (this obviously doesn't apply to all positions). Work from home is common in the office and I also think most people are genuinely nice. Use this place to get experience and move on with your career.

Cons

There are probably more downsides here than up unfortunately. The best talent flows out of the company as opposed to staying. Pay is also extremely low and you will probably be low balled if you negotiate salary. You will also be at risk of being outsourced at all times, accounting was outsourced to Poland and pretty much all US developers to India. This company is definitely part of the American outsourcing problem. For most product lines the technology is old, but for the ones that see immense competition, improvements have been made. I would not advise a friend to work here unless it was to attain some professional level experience straight out of college.

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.
