Pros
The people were fantastic to work for initially until Bain bought out Jay and family.
Cons
Where to begin? Worked previously at a privately held company that was purchased by Viewpoint. Told by the company that there was a mandatory meeting being held at a hotel up the street. Apparently not everyone saw the email because some people were not present at the meeting. Those not present were held back and the office and essentially fired. Jay and company were very good at transitioning the company and supportive at first so that it seemed like a good move long term going forward. They wanted a new office to replace King of Prussia and despite the overwhelming majority of employees wanting to stay in the area they moved the office to Plymouth Meeting. Then once Bain purchased Viewpoint I knew it was time to leave. I know from past experience Bain cares about the bottom line and the bottom line only. I left right before the move to Plymouth Meeting. Shortly thereafter key managers began to leave the company. Then layoffs. The developers lost several experienced people and then QA began cutting people to where they went from a staff of close to 10 down to 2 or 3. My advice is to keep looking; especially if you are being offered a position in the Plymouth Meeting branch. The company that was in King of Prussia and over 100 employees is now a skeleton crew and surely the office will eventually close once all the knowledge is transferred to staff in Portland.
