Steer clear unless you're an SAP developer

Pros

Unfortunately, there was nothing about working for Vistex that was positive for me. I loved the people I worked with and had been with hawkeye (acquired by Vistex) over 10 years, but after a year of life as a Vistexian, I knew it was definitely not the place for me.

Cons

Chicago calls all the shots, and all those shots are called by the owner/CEO. There are other senior executives, but they can't seem to make a decision unless Sanjay approves it first. Creates a seriously dysfunctional system. "Frugal" doesn't begin to describe how penny-pinching this company is. SAP funnels opportunities to Vistex which means Vistex doesn't (or didn't when I was there!) understand outbound marketing or why that might be important. They also had a very difficult time understanding sales cycles since the sales function as an SAP partner was handled by SAP. Pay is below market, raises are a pittance, and the micro-management is over the top (and hey, don't forget to donate to the CEO's pet philanthropy because otherwise HR will be hounding you daily).

Pros

The health benefits are very good for the size of the company. The people that work here are nice. Free soda and water.

Cons

There is no communication within the organization, you have no idea about any development cycle, this is a software company. Upper management is horrible, they do not allow anyone to make their own decisions or have any input. Stifling environment. Owner is very frugal, they don't even provide you with a laptop bag. No investment into employees, no professional development opportunities.

A specialty rights and royalties tech company.
