Performance Software - a great environment to work in!
Pros
Flexible, flexible and flexible! Senior management is extremely in tuned with the company morale, attitude and needs. They promote/demand a culture geared toward the employee. From town hall meetings, to surveys, travel bonuses, to inspiring innovation to Culture Clubs etc - you get the point. The work load can be tough at times but even then management wants to ensure your family life doesn't suffer. The company is built of superior engineers and at times will have projects to challenge and projects that are far less challenging - which I personally appreciate because occasionally it is nice to be in a down mode. The management is mostly built of software engineers, so they have a good understanding of the work force they employ. To sum it up, there is a reason why Performance Software has work many workplace rewards!
Cons
This is barely a con but while they have many regional offices, they also support several engineers who work from home of which I am one. The ONLY down side to this is I miss the collaboration with the fellow engineers - the hallway chats of sharing knowledge. To compensate for this, several local employees who work from home meet occasionally for lunch and in this regard, the company is fostering work relationships! - Plus we have tools for communicating with each other quite readily.
