Pros

You will make a lot of friends here. The line employees are nice, and the new offices are quieter than the old open plan.

Cons

Management does not listen. Anyone that suggests improvements or "challenges" management is warned then asked to leave. As a result the software is mediocre at best, sales is untrained in the products, product management wants no input, and professional services is hobbled. There is very very high turnover. High performers come in then leave, or are asked to leave. Average and below average employees remain. There is a culture of failing upwards as well.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
