Pros

There's a way out and that "grass is always greener on the other side" is always true. Safest career move you'll ever do, when you quit Idera.

Cons

Ok, so where do I start? Idera is led by this gentleman called Randy Jacobs that needs to buy 10 20M USD a year software companies to build a 100M USD a year portfolio (my math is not wrong folks, his business skills are that bad). And the interesting part is that he thinks he's a genius for doing so. Anyway, if your company got acquired by Idera, or if you decided to took a job there, you should update your CV. They will fire 95% of the people and keep 5% with close to 0 incentive, to sing the Kumbaya (I am sure they have a name for those, that we will never know). They offshore support, destroy development and hope for the best with the "as is" product. "This is where software comes to die" should be their moto.

Flexible work schedule - remote first company Independence in your role, able to contribute advice and experience

Cons

No scheduled reviews or salary increases. NONE. Marketing budgets are pitifully small Too many non-marketing staff involved in marketing decisions - people without context, experience or background.
