Pros

Great place to contirbute ides and push concepts through to prototype. Good mobility options within the organization that include out of country postings.

Cons

Top-heavy, inward facing management. Spurts of brilliance followed by imaginable incompetence should be cause for concern to anyone looking to work there or... acquire them.

Pros

It was a positive environment/culture. Very smart people with great ideas that were heard. People were committed to provide tools for sales & services to make and keep the customer happy. The training and services team always helped each other- sharing knowledge, best practices, tips & tricks at any hour of the day. Ron Zambonini was the most passionate and engaging CEO.

Cons

A bubble burst when Ron stepped down as CEO in '04. I think the prod dev had a big miss with the web dev of analysis studio, very weak against PowerPlay. Was a boys club and not everyone was allowed in.
