Pros

- Management took time to listen to problems - It seems like outside of software there might be some areas of the business that have a good culture

Cons

- Lack of technical direction - Legacy software with deep rooted problems - Poor technical leadership - Constant focus on quick wins - Blame individuals for systemic problems - Spent 50% of my time running SQL updates to get people unstuck - Benefits were not good relative to other companies

Great company, benefits and overall culture.

Pros

Some really good people who were considered friends. Had a great culture and a very organic growth mindset. Now being Park Place, they will have a very strong hold on the third party market which should increase margins for sellers. The support offerings have grown too which will allow for increased "stickiness" within each customer.

Cons

Certain events transpired that left the company, which was once great, reminiscing about the good ol days. This also may have caused a bit of a clash between the two cultures, and daily expectations, quotas, metrics, etc., merging into one (merely speculation).
