Pros

Great PTO after 5 years - 6 weeks. Ability to work from home Flexible schedule

Cons

Terrible management - out sourcing jobs to India - huge layoffs of the most experienced employees leaving behind those who have no idea what they are doing. Experience and talent totally undervalued . Vista Equity ruining the company - by the time they are done there won't be anything left. No concern for employees, customers or product development. No accountability for poor performance - people never return emails - constantly chasing after folks to get answers needed to get job done. Layoff was a blessing to get out of the stress filled chaos that exists in this company.

Pros

Good benefits with solid bonus % for a non-bank, fair health insurance premiums and PTO (30 days based on years with the company). The people are great and most managers are down to earth and look out for employees as best they can. Global company with offices everywhere. Travel and mobility opportunities abound. The range of product offerings is unmatched in the market and if the company invests as it says it will to integrate them, the future is very bright. Most positions offer work from home options. Senior managers are doing more communication to their teams than ever before and the brand is being rolled out effectively since the merger of Misys and D&H.

Cons

With mergers comes layoffs. Not as bad as previous iterations but surely a lot of consolidation and redundancies are still yet to be cleaned up. Compensation increases are very rare outside of a small cost of living type in the 2-3% range. That does not happen each year even when company targets are hit. Focus on bottom line is fist and second, clients are thought of at some point after. Resources are thinned everywhere and most jobs onshore are slow to be filled or never are. Most folks are doing the job of 2 or 3 people. Executive management and very senior level positions are constantly growing in # from people outside the organization.
