Pros

The right industry to be in right now. Some of the technology and products. Customer base and customer list. Many of the employees are top notch, bringing previous work experience to the game. Most employees are a joy to work with in spite of the corp culture. Tools and methods are improving.

Cons

Negative corp culture driven from the top down (not the bottom up). Employees pitted against each other. High turnover. Lack of best practices. Unusual organizational structure and behavior for a middle aged, mid sized ISV. Immature executive leadership in many cases. Some of the products are showing their age.
