Current Employee – been working at Saba Software full-time for more than a year
Pros – Out of 4 companies i worked previously this is undoubtedly the best place to work, more so with the new policies and new CEO. Management is extremely detail oriented and transparent. I am not exaggerating when i say you can knock on management's door (including CEO) any time with any questions. I can feel that all the execs are aligned to the same goal and directions from the management doesn't have any confusion. Absolute meritocracy in place and Employees are rewarded strictly based on their performance and innovations are encouraged !!
Cons – company lunch could be better !!!
Advice to Senior Management – Under Shawn's leadership management is doing excellent !!

Current Employee – been working at Saba Software full-time for more than a year
Pros – New CEO is great, Strong leadership additions with Head of Cloud Ops, Marketing, Engineering, Platform, and IT. SPC product is extremely innovative. I truly believe the company has turned the corner and that the company is ripe with opportunity for a hard worker who is intelligent, career oriented, and wants career growth.
Cons – Must be willing to work. Need to understand how to navigate an organization to get things done. Those that can will thrive. Which again offers potential to a good person
Advice to Senior Management – Move Fast!

Former Employee – worked at Saba Software full-time for more than a year
Pros – Once you get into Sr. Management, they pay well.
Cons – They have no integrity, treat employees awful, they exploit anyone in thier path, high turnover, poor management, marginal product, untruthfull to customers, partners, vendors and employees. They have a long history of silencing disgruntled employees by paying them off. Why do you think they have such a big legal team?
Advice to Senior Management – Revamp everything or give up.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
