Pros

Great team spirit, great products and very interesting customers and projects lower and middle management ist very supportive and this is where the money comes from great flexibility in working time

Cons

decisions of CEO and upper management are quite poor and not understandable - very high level ideas (great visions) but ability to execute is bad lot of product problems but no one wants to know about it --> employees and lower/middle management get it on track on their own

Pros

As hard as I try to think of some pros, I really can't come up with any.

Cons

- no innovation at all - all products are merely on life support to wring every last maintenance dollar from products that were innovative 10+ years ago - executive management is terrible - <10% of sales reps make quota - turnover is extremely high - anyone who was good has left (most right after their company was acquired into this mess

The executives are not up to the job

Pros

Many employees are really quite good and you can learn from your peers. While the technology the company has acquired has not kept pace with competitors , because there are so many components it still remains possible to assemble compelling solutions.

Cons

The current CEO, his executive hires and their 2nd level management hires brought in over the past 18 months are surprisingly weak and unprepared to lead. Sadly, the culture has evolved such that all decisions are made by the CEO and his direct reports. The result is that they're making so many trifling decisions that the quality of the important decisions has declined. Put another way, the big, strategic decisions have been consistently poor.
