Pros

This company has remained fairly stable for an IT company during pretty horrendous economic times. Good people (for the most part)

Cons

Some of the employees who have been there for eons just skate by with doing the bare minimum. There is not a lot of room to grow within this company. Many managers who have been there for years seem complacent.

Pros

Easy commute, midtown Manhattan. The last big old school style software house standing. Newer product lines have promise. They tend to overpay people to stay on and keep quiet.

Cons

Old boys salesforce, stale ideas, stagnant. Waiting for the founder to retire/leave. No real direction or vision. No actual investment at all.

Pros

Most staff will go way out of their way to help Above average comp plan if you are one of the fortunate reps with some good customers Very loyal customer base Customer Facing applications are their sweet spot--find these opps and you can do well

Cons

Disfunctional family--though many do well in this environment Easy to starve even if you're working hard Most products are dated, adding more difficulty selling Company somewhat stuck in the middle-- though Visionary in GartnerMQ it doesn't have the scale to compete well on large projects against the big stacks nor the product 'pizazz' to compete well against Niche players. Professional Services needs to work better with sales Too much emphasis on sales rep metrics Way too much time wasted battling Accounting to get expenses reimbursed. Spend a dollar to save a dime.
