      Pros

      I worked alongside some of the most talented and skilled individuals in the business. Fun work environment, ping pong, foosball, and more! Great work / life balance.

      Cons

      Constant re-organization, and layoffs. Bowker is a small piece of the ProQuest Empire and often gets overlooked, especially around salary review and bonus payout time.

      Pros

      They use modern programming languages (PHP, Perl, XQuery), Mark Logic Server, and are always open to exploring new technologies to make their products better. Cutting edge software development for some products. Good management. Small company that's been around forever and that's going to be around for a very long time. Programming peers with a great deal of experience and expertise.

      Cons

      They have a monopoly on ISBNs and therefore they don't need to work as hard at acquiring and retaining customers. This results in services that are not quite up-to-date or current with the times.
