Pros

The NetIQ products are great, especially around complex provisioning / de-provisioning and governance. Strong Regional Sales Directors and VP of Sales in North America.

Cons

Since NetIQ was acquired by Micro Focus the focus is purely on shareholder return rather than keeping, retaining and developing it's employees, investing in technology and marketing it's brand. Micro Focus may make money for it's investors but at the expense of running a "growth" company like NetIQ into the ground.

Pros

Great work-life balance, mostly good people to work with. If you want to coast, this is the place for you (until you get laid off in latest downsizing). There is some chance for advancement and management experience etc., because of attrition.

Cons

Constant downsizing and attrition. Almost criminally incompetent management full of D-team cast offs from a UK software company still stuck in the 80s who are very very impressed with themselves and their decision making. Executives who lucked into a cushy gig have circled the wagons and consolidate any power into a small group of decision makers and let go of competent executives from acquired companies. No direction, no strategy, no communication. Just terrible.
