Pros

Great products many coming from acquisitions and becoming integrated, however, they've lost some talented CTO and other top technologists. Talented people, decent benefits, most positions offer flexibility of home office.

Cons

Internal competition between software sales and services makes for friction and not cooperation. Rumors of RIFs and even senior people shaken. Appears to be forsaking engineering roots in favor of pursuing operations market (service life, embedded monitoring IoT). VPs manage upward, rather than leading or inspiring their people. Numbers-driven, rather than focus on customer success.

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
