In for the long haul.

Pros

IBI is a great company to work for, and it has many long term employees for that reason. It is exciting with new and wonderful products and very bright people, most of whom really enjoy working there which provides for a nice atmosphere. Your job is what you make it; it is a place where one can grow and learn. It is informal and relaxed without the pressure of a public company. The compensation is good, and fair, and known to be such, and the benefits continue to be very good.

Cons

There aren't that many career paths. If you're technical or in Sales, it is a great place to work. There is a lot of independence, so if that is not your thing, it may not be for you. Some find it to be a bit quirky. If you're looking for a tight structure, this might not be for you.

I worked here for over 15 years - multiple roles in sales and management

Pros

Lots of field flexibility in creating and managing deals - including pricing and contract structures. Family atmosphere. Owner and senior management rarely overreact to a bad quarter - they stay the course for the long-haul - this shows in the experience and longevity of key personal - both in the field and in corporate roles Minimal bureaucracy - deal making can be very easy Good technology with people that know how to make it sing. Open door policy everywhere - common for IB programmers to be in the CEO's office, common for non-corporate IB staff to wander into CEO's office.

Cons

Market awareness is lower than other companies in the BI and Integration space - primarily due to more limited mktg budgets and historical lack of advertising. Services organization has very good people but locally-oriented structure occasionally means experts in particular areas are hard to source - few centers of excellence in the PS organization. Culture is family-oriented - if you want a fast-moving, cutthroat organization, with lots of risk and change this may not be for you.

IB has been good to me, but it's no longer the company it once was.

Pros

IB is family friendly and has been good to me over the years in this regard. The product is extremely flexible and powerful. The CEO has managed the company through economic downturns quite well.

Cons

Minimal professional management. One VP in particular is extremely difficult to work with and often verbally abusive. Business units do not control their own P&L. 1980's "matrix management" style still in evidence. No systematic raises in many years, salary increases are hard to come by since the early 2000's. 401k matching is poor.
