Pros

Great Products, Exposure into many industries

Cons

There is a major lack of vision within the organization. As an entry or middle tier employee, you do not receive any direction. You are given tasks and expected to do them without allowing you to understand the reasoning behind them. The onboarding process is very misleading. They bring you on in a high energy and collaborative environment. Then shortly afterward, they tell you to "figure it out". There is very little collaboration between different parts of the organization. Another small but very annoying part of their business is the software that they use. Good luck finding the information you are looking for and be prepared to use 1995 email software.

Pros

Good benefits and the non-executives are good people. You’ll learn a lot in a couple of years so you won’t be bored.

Cons

Non-agile company. Internal processes keep changing/adding up making it the most non-efficient company I’ve worked for. Marching orders coming from Germany and they keep removing support engineers as they want more sales people.
