Pros

It was once a great company to work for but it's going downhill fast. The only pro I can think of is working from home.

Cons

The moral of this company is now shady. Do not trust this company. They are laying off hundreds of people in the US to other countries to "save money" Other countries where they don't have to pay benefits and a lesser salary. I think the company is having some serious financial issues. The CFO's are constantly leaving.. tells you something.

Micro Focus Response

We are disappointed to hear about your experience and encourage you to discuss your concerns with your manager and your HR Business Partner.
