Pros

The "culture" and laid back attitude. Good company to start career Perks... Onsite diner, coffee, haircuts etc

Cons

Not a good place to advance career experience and/or time served is more important than qualificiations Value experience over education/training Take the time to actually train and promote management Compensation is a joke. Compensation is, on average, 25% to 33% under market value The overall incompetence of management is shocking for how successful the company is it seems like there is a clique mentality and that is how "promotions" are based instead of based on qualifications (education ie degrees (Bachelor's, Master's, phD), training (Certifications)) The lack of direction with the product and overall enhancements. While the product is great at what it does it isn't really earth-shattering.

Pros

- Free coffee and other drinks - The on-site cafeteria - Occasional parties - Great place for those starting their careers who are more interested in making friends (those who are typically single and without children) than making market average pay, working with and learning from the best and career advancement

Cons

- Nepotism run rampant - Unqualified executive leadership; multiple lack even Bachelor degrees - Highly politicized environment - Unless you join the Hyland Software cult, and drink the Kool-Aid, not only won't you advance, but you will likely lose your job - Pay is significanly below market average - Longevity with the company rather than talent is rewarded - Few people to learn from as Hyland will not pay what it takes to retain their best mid and upper level employees or to hire significant talent from outside the company; a real world perspective is lacking and employees are not challenged nor do they challenge the status quo - Bonuses are an absolute joke - Performance reviews mean nothing - Executive leadership lacks courage

Pros

As previously mentioned, the on-site perks are wonderful. The team-building activities are a major plus as well. One of the best places to work in the Greater Cleveland Area.

Cons

It is high school, a soap opera, and mafia all-in-one. You're either with the "in" crowd, or you're meat. Some "managers" can't handle their own egos or emotions, and will punish differing opinions that they deem to be not in line with "the team/family" (read: "Different than what they want to hear.") Or better yet, those whom have employees with superior technical and/or math abilities who feel threatened by a subordinate who presents a proven solution which they lack the ability/education comprehend. (It works, but I don't "get it," so it must be bad!) After a failed IPO, they sold out to a venture company for a quick buck; but are now no longer in control of their own future. IE: if their return isn't high enough, they could be flipped and dismantled by a big corporation. They are right in saying that healthcare is the future... Unfortunately, Panasonic, Sony, GE, and a multitude of large multi-national companies agree. However, they outgun Hyland on software design, and actually have their own hardware developments; Hyland has a diner. As previously mentioned, if you're one of the "old guard" managers, you can do what you like with impunity. Seniority is what counts, and below fifteen years of emplyment, being LIKED by seniority is what counts.
