Pros

Healthcare is included Paid for the time you put in, not the revenue you bring in Nice people User conference

Cons

Big disconnect between sales and upper management Employees abuse the hourly pay - self reported time cards Not direct compensation based on performance Merit increases are minimal after 3-4 years regardless of performance Market share is dwindling as new offerings are being included in other enterprise technologies I.e. Mapping in BI systems and google plug ins

Pros

Outstanding health care benefits. Lots of passionate GIS professionals who are really drive transformational change with the organizations they work with. Company culture is to support customers, at all levels. Not just lip service here. Sales plans are developed and executed to support organizations rather than just sell software.

Cons

Internal movement is difficult. The learning environment for new employees, or employees new in their careers varies dramatically depending on managers and pyramids. Work/Life balance is a significant issue. Travel is expected to be done after hours, weekend calls and meetings. Everyone paid by the hour. Competitive offers are based on 50 hour work weeks.

Pros

Privately owned so you don't deal with the typical pressures of a public company. Very creative, high energy environment. Ideal for self starters, passionate people. Mostly very flexible, agile and very customer focused.

Cons

CEO is a visionary but obsessed almost to a fault. Next tier leadership is territorial, always positioning, reactive, judgmental.
