Pros

The few smart people remaining are great to work with and genuinely know their stuff.

Cons

Leadership is lost, the tool their investing heavily into is dying and doesn't keep up with industry trends. Leadership refuses to engage with consulting, wants us gone ASAP, but is incapable of doing that, so everyone is stuck in limbo while attrition reduces talent pool to nothing.

Pros

*Good people. *Smart people. *Good product.

Cons

*Black Duck is a mess. *People are in survival mode. *Morale is low. *Pay is low compared to the industry. *Private equity just let the CEO and CRO go and as a result they've installed their own CEO and CRO. Who by the way are odd with no personalities. Very awkward and robotic. *It has become a very cut throat environment. *They are laying off across the board, especially in sales and it you're not laid off, they have begun to put people on PIPs. *Inbound leads are scarce. *Not much of a channel program to speak of. *Sales folks are required to quote/sell implementation services without quota relief and only partial commission pay. *Some leadership at the director level are just not polished and frankly are bizarre. *This place is a mess. Lots of employee turnover, lay offs and lots of customer turnover. Retention is horrible. *STAY AWAY.
