Pros

Most people are great and it is an intuitive piece of software. The upper management has great vision and transparency to the average worker bee. I loved the coffee, Monday Meetings, and the parties. I also liked to be able to create things myself, and run with ideas.

Cons

"Nepotism is the showing of favoritism for relatives or friends based upon that relationship, rather than on an objective evaluation of ability or suitability, for instance by offering employment to a relative, despite the fact that there are others who are better qualified and willing and able to perform the job.", aka Hyland Software. At Hyland Software, the best way to get a job is to be related to someone at Hyland with preference to VP's. They will work you to your absolute breaking point, and then fire or "remove" you when they have found someone to replace you that costs them less. So keep your resume updated, it won't be long until you are out. Middle management up to VP's will steal from their own salespeople on high profile deals. So if you do have some good deals brewing, keep them to yourself until they are sold or else your manager or the VP will steal them from you and get the glory and comission from you. Also, your exit paycheck is shallow, so makee sure that you have enough banked away. It looks great from the outside, it IS NOT WORTH what it will do to you.

Pros

They hire some very talented and driven people and it is an extreme pleasure to work with them. The solution is solid and they are committed to creating new solutions to need end-user needs.

Cons

They are hypocrites. They take pride in their core values by displaying them prominently on their walls and on employee name badges. Two out of the five are my relevant examples. #1 We conduct ourselves with honesty, integrity and fairness in our relationships with our partners, customers, employees and shareholders. This is extreme BS. They expect this from everyone except themselves. #2 Our employees are our family. This is literally true. This company if full of nepotism. If you do not have a blood connection somehow, they say this to make you feel good. But in fact if your definition of family is stabbing you in the back and undercutting you, then this is true. They are your family. They give this illusion of fun and what a great place to work by having slides in building, providing a diner and daycare as well as massages and haircuts. It all look great on the surface until you peel back this thin layer to see what they are really about. Don't expect any raises for a long time, if ever. I knew some very productive people that contributed a lot of revenue to this company and they did not give them a raise for over 4 years. Not even a cost of living adjustment. This is just one of many examples of how they don't take care of their employees. One other word of caution. If you are not in the "in crowd", your career there will most likely be short. How do you get in the "in crowd", good question, no one knows. And being in the "in crowd" has no guarantees. They have no problem "eating their own".
