Pros

Great work/life balance. Really nice people. Needs an internal technology refactor to become current. Founders still with company after buyout, for now. Strong ethics and company support for BRGs and DEI efforts.

Cons

Way, way, way, way ,way too much management. Indecipherable micro-level titles with no clear responsibilities - most managers are desperately trying to stay relevant, justify their position, and suck up to their superiors. Constant re-orgs indicate that upper management has zero clue what they're doing. Main plan is to shed expense via offshoring and layoffs. Pay scale is significantly lower than industry averages for tech and for life science.

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
