      Pros

      Priceless negative experience. If it doesn't destroy your professional ambitions and drive, it will get you stronger for any job experience... anywhere else.

      Cons

      Management is full of divas, who do not provide any sense of relatedness to business. They are stuck in late 90's early '00 at best, on all fronts - technology, HR, sales...One thing Descartes is leading in, is their acquisitions. There are more corporate finance announcements than new-logo signatures.

      Pros

      You'll realize fast to be wasting your time. And as mentioned previously, one gains fast those highly marketable "band-aid" project skills.

      Cons

      Primitive technology, coming from frequent acquisitions, with poor integration strategy behind. Management driven by mistrust. Null career perspectives.
