      Pros

      Folks are nice. Pay is decent. Work is mostly interesting.

      Cons

      Management is pretty terrible. Because of the organization of the teams collaboration between teams is really not incentivized and so interactions between many teams feels quite adversarial as you fight over who's "points" are going to be used to accomplish some task. I've never worked somewhere with this sort of behavior and it is seriously frustrating. We're trying to ship a product as a company. I don't care if your team is going to miss a deadline or doesn't have enough points to do something... the work has to get done and we need to work together to get it done.

      Thanks for expressing your concerns about agile. The planning we do is standard to the scaled agile approach: Big Room Planning at the epic level. The goal is to give everyone on the team visibility into the epic and create a basis for the iterative decision-making. Totally appreciate the need to constantly flex and iterate from the initial thoughts.

      Pros

      Products and loyal AR customers keep the company going.

      Cons

      Poor implementations and continued price increases won't keep loyal customers for long. Climate and culture of micro-management and CYA is toxic.

      Pros

      Renaissance had good products with a very large and loyal customer base.

      Cons

      Company has raised their prices on products every year, with little added value (customer perception). They have done little to change the market's perception and implementation of AR, so customers are still using the way they did 10 years ago and find little reason to pay the increase in pricing. In addition, there is an inward focus, especially on the field Sales. The hoops they have field sales jumping through to "document their activity" is unheard of in the industry. If you want to be micro-managed, this
