The perfect way to describe Tyler Technologies would be with a "meh" emoji. Its an average tech company that employees a lot of people young and old. Its great if you're looking for a low pressure job right out of school and/or are on the backside of your career and looking for a safe job with little-to-no pressure and standard benefits. Rather than build their own solutions they prefer to acquire and assimilate them into their machine; replacing the acquired companies culture and uniqueness with their "meh" approach (stabilize, don't take risks and get customers into paying support and maintenance ASAP).
There is definitely a "good ole boy" feel to the company; especially within the Local Government Division based out of Lubbock, TX (go figure). If you're in good with upper management (and you'll have to get through a few tiers of middle management first) then you're in good shape; otherwise, you're just another employee # on the payroll.
This is not the ideal company for you if:
a) You want to work on cutting edge technology
b) Want a "silicon valley" feel to your technology company (i.e. fast-paced, creative, etc.)
c) Want to take risks; whether its stretching the reach of the product (through configuration and/or penetrating new markets), aggressively pursuing large opportunities, trying anything "new"
d) Want an opportunity for legitimate career advancement beyond middle management (most of the current employees are lifers and thus the only way to move up is when someone dies)...and by "lifers" I mean they're their until they die, not necessarily that they've been there for a long time.
e) If you're female...there are countless examples of female discrimination, few women in upper management and in general fewer opportunities for females to advance beyond token middle management roles.
