      Pros

      The right industry to be in right now. Some of the technology and products. Customer base and customer list. Many of the employees are top notch, bringing previous work experience to the game. Most employees are a joy to work with in spite of the corp culture. Tools and methods are improving.

      Cons

      Negative corp culture driven from the top down (not the bottom up). Employees pitted against each other. High turnover. Lack of best practices. Unusual organizational structure and behavior for a middle aged, mid sized ISV. Immature executive leadership in many cases. Some of the products are showing their age.

      Parallels - good if you like Russian culture

      Pros

      Parallels technology is incredible competitive. OS virtualization provides lots of benefits and if the company made an attempt to really market it, VMware would be nervous.

      Cons

      Senior management had NO communication down at all. At one time, this company owed me 12 weeks of salary and I never received an explanation why this happened. Russian founders brought their culture to the US. They frequently lay off and rehire if anyone does any thinking or questioning about strategy. They pit people against each other and just expect you to work and be grateful for a job.
