Current Employee – been working at TIBCO Software

ProsI love working at TIBCO because I get to work with fun-loving, good people. It's also a healthy and casual work environment with flexible work hours and work location.

ConsBecause of the flexibility, there isn't much of a sense of urgency or clear immediate direction within the company.

Advice to Senior ManagementProvide employees a sense of "closeness" with the overall mission and direction of the company.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Prossmart engineers and great porducts

ConsManagement is terrible. They are sitting out their time witing tio collect their money. When the company does well, they get paid large bonuses. When the company does not do well, they still get paid large bonuses while the rest of the staff gets 0

Very pootly rum

Advice to Senior Managementleave and hire some smart, innovative replacements for your self. Start treating employees with respect so that they WANT to stay, and not want to collect a pay check.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Atlanta, GA

Current Employee – been working at TIBCO Software full-time for more than a year

ProsGood for technical people to learn and find a better company

ConsThis is a grossly mismanaged organization that will destroy your career , You wont make any money even if you sell as they will not pay you commissions, The will offer you a high OTE and a great compensation plan but will not recognize your sales or call your account a house account that disqualify you for payment no policy arbitrary decisions . This is not a place for coin operated sales people only people who are happy on the base salary and being your managers slaves and the Sales leadership has absolutely no sales management experience and with that leadership they want to compete with SAP, IBM and Oracle

Advice to Senior ManagementPlease get your act together, Get a decent HR ..treat your employees with respect and dignity

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Minneapolis, MN

Former Employee – worked at TIBCO Software full-time for less than a year

ProsGood work culture and really talented people work here.
Its good to work in a really dynamic enviornment with really smart people here.

ConsPay is comparatively less here. I was expecting to have good raise in salary. But I ended up getting less. So salary is the one thing one should consider before making Tibco as a long term career choice.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay attention to the employees.

Current Employee – been working at TIBCO Software full-time

ProsLots of room to grow if you work hard and position yourself correctly in the organization. Traditionally the field organization has solved very complex problems. There is a history of outcompeting larger companies such as IBM and Oracle through hard work and intense customer focus.

ConsIncreasing bureaucracy. Political atmosphere. Lack of mentorship or clear career path. For field organization work/life balance is nonexistent.

Advice to Senior ManagementFocus on clients. TIBCO is fundamentally a software company. The focus should be on making software work for our clients. TIBCO is at its best when client driven.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
