Pros

The teams in the field are excellent, over coming the day to day issues and working well with each other

Cons

New owners with their data crunching value group that has no idea how to run a multi product service group. employees are jumping ship and customers are turning away. actively making goals so high now one gets a bonus. No respect for work times, meeting early in the morning or late at night, as upper management cant be bothered to have 2-3 meetings for the different countries. if they don't change directions quickly this company will be worthless

Pros

The people in middle management and below are great. Really no other pros.

Cons

Ever since the split, the company has been a slow sinking ship. Upper management and the consultants do not want to pay to keep good talent. They have no problem letting people walk and then stretch thin remaining workers. Very sad to see what this company was like a couple years back to what it has turned into now.
