Former Employee – worked at JDA Software

Pros – Employees take quite a bit of time off, or work from home, so work life balance is good.

Cons – There is a great deal of turnover due to people jumping ship and being released. The culture in the office is much different than the other reviews I read, but most of those apply to the Software Dev team. There seems to be an air of confusion, frustration, and hostility, although just like any place there are people that genuinely care as well.

I see red flags when a software company has little to no on site IT support for its own infrastructure, and it takes a week to get a request for something as simple as mapping a printer from the offshore tech support team. The generally advised rule is "do it yourself if you want it done".
