Pros

I learned a lot during the few years that I was there. The culture is flexible with a good work/life balance. They hire smart folks but can't maintain them.

Cons

All they talk about during the town meetings were satisfying stock holders and meeting numbers. They didn't discuss rewarding, maintaining and training employees. There were no raises during the recession which is understandable for 1 year but 2 years in a row. On top of that, management promoted their favorite direct reports to keep them. While no increase in salary, management continued to pile on more work as if you are lucky to have a job.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
