Pros
Some of the most wonderful and intelligent people I have ever worked with. In the beginning (prior to being swallowed up by Powerschool), people surrounding you were enthusiastic and proud of the work being done. You could learn from one another and the energy was high. Good times, good product, and good friends. The talent was incredible and the pride showed throughout. Even when the acquisition hit, people made every attempt to carry that pride and enthusiasm with them and show Powerschool that the true success came from within.
Cons
Powerschool couldn't have cared less about the people the acquired along with the products. Morale sunk to all time lows. Good people were dumped immediately. Jobs were sent to India. And then came the continuous carousel of management. Doors started to shut, and the secrecy began. whispers started, and people disappeared. Each week, another amazing and talented person was gone. No more open door policy. Prices were driven up and fingers were being pointed. Where once a proud company stood - a sad shell now exists.
