Lawson Software – “Great company, great software, getting better.”

Pros

It is a family type company. Good pay, good benefits, good people and very skilled and dedicated employees. The software is good but simple. It is intuitive but surprising deep in functionality. Clients are very satisfied and the retention rate is about 98%, which is unheard of and an industry leading standard. Upper management is approachable and they actuall listen to your opinions. Client ideas are always taken into consideration and priotized accordingly.

Cons

Very clickish, especially if you come in with no Lawson experience at all.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the field employees and do not keep them in the dark about company financial performance or possible layoffs or rifs. There needs to be true hands on training classes for new employees. Taught by real trainers not consultants.
