Pros

Fair pay, Xmas-New Years company-wide closure, 401k matching and other decent benefits. Fellow employees (not management).

Cons

Everything else. So-called directors don't know how to direct, managers don't know how to manage. They haven't quite got the hang of how to work with remote employees. Constant shuttling of management. Little to nothing in the way of raises. There is not a true end-to-end solution, because it is not organic, but rather a big, messy puzzle put together by different products that were built by difference companies, and it is a seriously difficult and expensive puzzle to implement and configure. There are *always* yearly staff reductions to make company profits look better. Layoffs common because mgmt cannot figure out all the moving parts in order to make the most of their resources. Management is very reactionary rather than visionary. There are far better ECM companies out there.
