Pros

Work and play hard mentally starting to creep back in after a few years of work hard, work even harder.

Cons

Still some uncertainty. A lot of engineers believe they will be eventually replaced by the cheaper less knowledgeable overseas employees

Pros

No merger is going to be perfect, but given the size, complexity and time crunch it has gone pretty well. I doubt many of the reviewers complaining about the merger have any real business knowledge and/or have been part of a merger of this size/complexity in any substantial way. We bounced some deadweight (long overdue), got a more focused approach on the roadmap, are more transparent from EVP down to individual contributor, and are looking forwards and upwards.

Cons

From an R&D perspective it seems like some areas of Genesys R&D is a bit stuck in the 90s (architecture, technology choices, lack of true DevOps, waterfall as opposed to Agile development, heavy process, desire to hire resources in the cheapest regions). A significant portion of the innovation has come from M&As instead of internally. As more of a 'start-up' side of R&D we have to fight for every resource and just had to go through a small RIF - this all while other R&D groups are trying to hire a significant number of resources and appear to have competing strategies/products. This indicates a lack of shared vision and communication at the top-level of the organization. Two, or three depending on how you count it, R&D groups competing to deliver where the 'fight' is heavily stacked in one group's favor.
