Pros
Banyan Software is very intentional and thoughtful in its hiring process to attract A Players that are a good cultural fit. The company buys small to mid sized software companies with the intention of holding them forever (as opposed to flipping them like many firms). As a result, all of its decision making is within a framework of building long term value, which generally translates into doing what is best for customers and employees, in addition to growing the bottom line. It is growing quickly as a result of its success, but it is doing so without compromising its talent standards. By hiring high performers, and building good businesses, Banyan is building a reputation as an employer of choice in the PE and software space, which is perpetuating its ability to attract great talent. Banyan is a good home for highly skilled, hard working and caring professionals. It is not a good home for someone who wants to hide within a function and coast. Having said that, work life balance is valued at the firm.
Cons
The business is growing, and that requires growth-minded employees who thrive in fast paced environment. Expect to contribute, not ride coat tails at Banyan Software. While this is a pro, not a con for the right professionals, I've included it here to clarify that Banyan is not the right place for workers who just want to punch a clock.
