Pros

The pay and benefits are decent(if not a contractor). Work does not dominate life outside of work. Attitude of employees is not too formal.

Cons

HR and Upper Management do not give enough freedom in the hiring process and rely heavily on contract positions. Some contractors are kept in such a position for over a decade meanwhile new member are added to their teams at full-time positions gaining retirement and healthcare benefits, better pay, and room for advancement.

Desperate for a Job, Look no further

Pros

There is no disagreement within any of these reviews that BW has great technology and a strong prospect base - just a shame they can't do anything with it. They offer young blood a way into the working world (good luck lazy and spoiled generation) but seasoned veterens need not apply, or enter at your own risk.

Cons

Very paranoid and protective executive staff - Last time I checked non-performing employees were a reflection of poor management or a result of "noone good left to hire " because you have cycled through them all since 2006.

Toxic work culture

Pros

The software shows a lot of promise due to the engineers' work in Germany. Headquarters as well as operations are based in the US, however I can only think that those in non-management positions are nice as well as sincere to interact with. On the other hand, because of this, you are able to empathize with colleagues about Brainware's poor work culture and incompetence of management.

Cons

Employees are underpaid - well below market level - and scared about losing their job. Turnover is unusually high, unless of course you are part of management team. Performance reviews or feedback from management do not exist. CEO was angry when an employee quit; management would rather fire than let you resign. Unhealthy and toxic work culture where hard work ethic is not valued. Politics is also huge in the office.
