Pros

The pay is competitive with a good portion being variable - this helps in keeping people motivated to work hard.. The company has a good brand value in the IT products and services space, and has a global presence.

Cons

Bad acquisition strategy, with most acquisitions just languishing. The company tries to create value from multiple products, but customers do not seem to buy into this vision. They missed the SAAS boat and are now struggling to find a way to stay relevant. Honestly I believe that the company has good engineering talent, but very bad management doing the execution and strategy. There is no real innovation and cutting edge work being done at this company. No people at the company who can be called "visionary".

Pros

Work hours are somewhat flexible along with opportunity to work from home. Lots of talented co-workers. Performance based bonus pay.

Cons

Since buyout there have been rounds of layoffs. There is a huge talent vacuum happening as developers either jump ship to other organizations or get laid off. Compensation is slightly below market average, and now that the company is private there is no stock option.
