Pros
Have worked at LANSA for over 15 years. Over this timeframe, I have seen continuous innovation from our R&D Labs, to continue to keep us on the forefront of technology with our customers. Product toolset is always improving with new options , feature, and benefits, to help simplify the often complex world, of custom application development. LANSA does this with a Low-Code Language, and a Modular Object-Oriented Architecture. Always an opportunity to get involved with leading-edge technologies, such as Mobile Apps, REST Web Services, Data Integration, Web Responsive Solutions, and more., without having to invest months and months in learning a long list of languages and technologies that will quickly get replaced by the next technology in 12 months. As a Software and Consulting Services company, our people get ongoing exposure to a wide range of businesses and vertical industries, for a good depth and breadth of experiences. Lots of potential to advance, as Programming Languages often come and go, but careers at LANSA, give you tons of business experiences, which are the skills that will carry forward for years to come.
Cons
With the rapid pace of change in the IT world, it is sometimes difficult to keep up to date. Some customers are pushing us to be bleeding edge, while other customers sometimes get stuck in doing what they have been doing for the past 10 years. A real mix of customer types.
