Pros

Getting to work with some really great people. Getting to work on a project that I believe makes a positive difference in the world. Working on technology that is moving forward. (Sometimes slowly, but moving)

Cons

Upper management (Vista) talking out of both sides of it's mouth. One side can't seem to say enough about how much they value their employees, and how "The employees are PowerSchool". The other side is directing rounds of random seeming "layoffs" while hiring new employees in a new office 12 1/2 time zones away. The latest directive is that some (many?) employees on both sides of the pond will be required to participate in daily conference calls at times that they would otherwise be sleeping or spending time with their families. This is no way to treat people you say you value.

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
