Pros

Compensation although this has reduced in recent years, benefits (good car allowance, pension contributions, private healthcare)

Cons

Product issues, amount of time spent 'fixing' issues for clients, sales culture, sales management, have no idea how to run a SaaS business, compensation declining, targets rising, double bubble payments to people not involved in deals, political culture, ethics, lack of new business - relying on renewing large contracts as products don't stand up against competition (ServiceNow, App Dynamics etc...) when selling to a new customer. Massively high turnover within the sales team especially of the top performers.

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.
