Pros

If you need experience in the field of payroll software, you can get it there if you can handle the insanity of the bureaucracy.

Cons

The management is so out of the norm when dealing with people that even when explicitely told what they are doing wrong in plain English, they don't get it. They treat software professionals like factory widget makers, plus they waste a lot of time and money making sure they don't waste time and money. They DO NOT promote from within the company. They think that magic comes from hiring somebody who has likely failed somewhere else. The turnover is ridiculous for a software company.

The winters are long in Vermont if you are not into that kind of thing.

Pros

There are some wonderful staff that work at iSystems. The new building is a great place to work. It is dog friendly. A capable CFO was hired to drive the financial objectives of the organization. It is a challenging place to work, but iSystems has great products and customers.

Cons

Executive management team is indecisive and decisions often made beyond the point where they can be effective. No one is held accountable and often blame is assigned where it does not belong. Failure to obtain revenue equals lmajor cost reductions. As much as this is unavoidable to ensure financial health, sales staff should be placed on PIP, and sales executives should be held accountable for bad sales planning. Commitments made are often not achievable and can therefore not be upheld. There is a massive blame culture when objectives cannot be met. HR is unprofessional, part of the blame culture, share confidences and spread rumors. Work life balance is supposed to be great, however, many staff members are in fact working very long hours and have no work life balance.
