Pros

-Had a great solution stack -Had great clients -Had a knowledgeable, successful, friendly, team based proactive staff -Nice looking office -Good benefits -Interesting international travel -Good financial tech exposure

Cons

-Senior management cannot distinguish between fact, fiction and vaporware. It relies on rumor and speculation to make decisions regarding the market, clients and employees. -Personal initiative is misunderstood and/or frowned upon. Especially in sales where it is essential. -Extreme turnover. Many competent personnel and clients have left and the best picked up by competition. -Clients and prospects are mishandled. Key new prospects are not followed up with or contacted promptly. Sales timing not respected or understood. -Cultural disconnect with markets they wish to penetrate.

Pros

Was a small enough organisation to ensure that decisions where quick to be made. Used to be a market leader in space therefore the "brand name" helped with the sales process. Had a group of intelligent and helpful ppl to tackle challenges and produce results

Cons

Constant management changes and switching of business and solution strategies have led to a decline investment into the existing solution stack with new initiatives taking more resources and focus. This has come at a cost to what can be sold today. Until the new technology/solution stack is delivered, the company will struggle to keep competition at bay.
