Pros
Comments primarily focus on software monetization business though cultural aspects go across the business * King of the on premise software world * Great expertise and solutions for software monetization (on premise world) * Good people to work with * Work / Life Balance * Collaborative work environment * New opportunities in trend of hardware companies trying to become software centric * Few good external leadership hires recently that are genuinely interested in shaking up things (give them the latitude to make a difference)
Cons
* Core on premise market shifted dramatically, which has caused significant challenges in the recent past. So far not found relevancy and compelling value proposition for technology trends like SaaS, Mobile, Social and Internet of Things (IoT). IoT seems closest to the next phase of evolution, however the current baby steps and lip stick on pig approach is likely to fall short. * Milking traditional cash cows and starving innovation with relentless focus on EBITDA makes a classic case for wasted potential * Company's growth limitation obviously translates into limited growth and career opportunities * Lack of "Silicon Valley culture” to compete in the fast changing high-tech world is like bringing a knife to a gun fight
