Pros

The HR team has been extremely supportive and professional throughout the process. They ensured a smooth experience by providing clear briefings about the joining formalities, being responsive to calls, promptly addressing any queries, and sharing valuable insights into the work culture in an open and transparent manner.

Cons

I had to go through six interview rounds and an additional test. Each time I was considered for a profile, the process started from the first technical round again, which made it quite lengthy and repetitive.

Business Outlook

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.
