Pros

Historically, they reliably delivered payroll and expense reimbursements on schedule. The approach of new managment in 2012 seems to be to hire young, inexperienced, highly trainable people with low salary expectations, which presents a great opportunity for someone early in their career to get some good software industry training and experience.

Cons

I had limited experience under the new management regime, so my perception may not be applicable over the long haul, but their frequently-mentioned, but not shared, 'Vista Equity Partners standard operating procedures' seem to include management direction to not develop relationships with underlings because you never know when they will fall on the wrong side of the bell curve and be laid off, so better not to get emotionally attached. Management strictly by the numbers. Makes for a passion-less, sterile environment.

Pros

At least I'm not unemployed yet.

Cons

Seems like everything is decided by holding company Vista Equity Partners They want to replace experienced higher paid employees with low paid inexperienced ones Aptitude test results carry more weight than past employment history The most hardcore non-compete agreement I have ever seen. This has to be illegal! Don't sign and your out of a job. Sign and you can't work for any company in a related industry for to 2 years.

Pros

Good customers, great co-workers, if you are a self-starter, you can learn a lot by doing things in a fast pace company.

Cons

high turnover rate. Upper mgmt does not care to keep the best brain in house but to care more abt "numbers". "best practice" so far means cutting best people off and hiring junior with no skills and lower pay, also no clear direction as to how to promote/develop better products and people. Mid level mgmt has some pests that can make your life miserable regardless your performance.
