Pros

This was truly one of the most amazing companies I've worked for. It had a great culture and I felt like I really made a difference in how things were running at the company. Their product suites are among the best in the industry. Free drinks stocked in the coolers and lots of other small perks.

Cons

There was a huge culture shift when a major part of senior management was removed and replaced with an outside group of people. When this team came on, they eliminated positions and people and others quite as a result of changes. It really ruined the amazing experience that it had been.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
