Pros

It was a paycheck

Cons

I wasn't going to post a review but when I read how great it is to work there, I have to. The people in India and Mexico are probably really happy because they have replaced American workers. Those who say it's a great work life balance are really shocking. Where are they working? When I worked there, I worked very hard and in order to get everything done, I had to work during my time off. At raise time, it will be the same story year after year - sales are down, we didn't meet our goals and managers didn't get much money to give away. So the money goes to the manager's pets no matter how hard you work. In the meantime, you see all these executives being hired and getting high bonuses. The upper management really went downhill when it switched to being based in England. Some of the worst managers I've seen. They make decisions that make no sense at all. All the emphasis is on the bottom line and employees are just a necessary evil in their eyes. Great growth if you want to move to India or Mexico. Americans are dwindling fast and will eventually be extinct in my opinion.

Pros

Great co-workers and team environment

Cons

The merger between Micro Focus and HPE software was a disaster. Layoffs after layoffs, all best people leaving or looking for another job. Management doesn't believe in marketing and won't spend them money on it, even though customers don't know who Micro Focus is.

Lacking Innovation

Pros

Great people. Products have a rich history. It's a giant of a company.

Cons

During conferences and customer events, the Micro Focus model is often touted as the company that buys software solutions that have already peaked and are on the decline. Renew the customer as long as you can. There is definitely a place for this model which provides customers with the assurance that the software will remain supported. But... if you're in the software industry and looking to work for a company that is innovative and exciting... you will struggle to find that inspiration here. A bit of a software hospice.
