Pros

The great, fun culture that started with Appature (purchased by IMS in 2013) has remained. I get to work with very smart, knowledgeable people. No one is working me to the bone. Nice view, free parking.

Cons

Upper level management (above the Seattle office) has no idea how to run a software company. Direction keeps changing every few months. Apparently we're Salesforce developers now.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
