Pros

Solid company with solid results. Co CEOs get along well and are nice.

Cons

If you work under current CFO you better have thick skin because he's MEAN! I think mean is an understatement. They guy thinks he's God and thinks he can do ANYTHING he wants. Very unstable environment with finance directors constantly fulfilling their hidden agendas. Never know when u're next in the "firing list". They always have a target, at least 1 person per year. CFO and company fire people without reason and tenure & hard work don't matter. Never know when you are next. HR team is there to protect the company NOT the employees.

Pros

Good Market Position and Average Pay

Cons

Once hailed for job security.. That is also gone now. Very Risky to stay in development team after initial years. Yon neither become Tool Expert nor as Software Expert to compete in market. So long term career growth is not good
