Pros

If you're Indian, you're almost certain to be hired and you get all kinds of preferential treatment. If you're not Indian, but are absolutely desperate for a paycheck and this is your only option, it's better than nothing in the short term. The field they market to--medical education--is interesting.

Cons

Working here is like being caught in a Kafka story. Up is down, down is up, right is wrong, wrong is right. There's absolutely no direction from management. The basic strategy is to delay and pass the buck whenever there is a problem, which is pretty much every implementation. They use the people who have contact with clients like Kleenex. The software interface looks like a kid's school project, and works about like that. There's absolutely no will to make it better. Except for a few managers, and employees who are dependent on their jobs to allow them to stay in the U.S., everyone here is miserable. This may be one of the few companies that will tank when the economy improves, because everyone here will leave as soon as they can find another job.

Pros

Small company with hard working employees who really do want to help the company succeed. Mostly supportive team members and the company does have connections with Federal and State Government customers. Good work life balance and ability to work remotely was a plus. I worked full time from the west coast while the company was based out of East coast.

Cons

Poorly developed products that don't meet customer needs. Big promises with weak delivery and support for customers. Management is clueless and does not take advice of the people who know the product, customers and the work. The company will go all out and blow the budget for marketing and advertising of their products and has no idea what to do after that. It pretends to know what their customer wants, but when reality sets in, customers usually end up disappointed and frustrated with their product support. Management never listens to the sales people and medical consultants and improvement and continues to do business the same as they always have. There is no growth in this company. Nice place to start out, but leave the first opportunity you get.
