Pros

- Company is doing well, they effectively acquire 2 companies a year on average, milk the maintenance, get rid of dead wood & duplicate services, and pour minimal R&D into new products - Salary's are market average - Stock is doing very well - Benefits are on par with most US/Canadian software companies - Majority of people have been there for a long time

Cons

- Support management are very clicky with each other, you will struggle to break into the group and therefore career in any aspect is very limited - Agencies are reluctant to hire you of you worked here, they have a belief that majority of people lack skills suitable in other companies - Most people don't leave because they have been there so long that they are scared to leave - Young managers are often unprofessional & lack experience - If you have been acquired, your best bet is to leave unless they offer you a good position, most of your team will eventually dissipate - Culture is often lacking, good games room & breakout area, many events organised however very little acknowledgement of hard work and effort - Products mostly cannot integrate with each other, company grows by acquisition with little thought on product integration, as such they sometimes have multiple products that do the same thing - In Canada, this is a great place to work, don't be fooled by this in Reading or other Euorpean locations - Treat employees with little respect
