Pros

-Allowed for flexible work arrangements for employees not within commuting distance to a Corp office, and then all of a sudden a revision to their "workforce arrangement policy" deemed the majority of the roles would be strictly office based moving forward. Interesting spin! -Decent health benefits if you're a single participant -Very streamlined approach to acquiring and on-boarding acquired companies

Cons

-Miromanagement stems from the top here. Everything starts and ends with the CEO and the ELT -They claim there is quantifiable organic growth, but most don't believe it. Only interested in the next acquisition target with healthy maintenance revenue base. -The hardly recognize top performers and there is an overall sense they do not value people's contributions or feel it's important to retain good people. -Frequent layoffs that typically target employees that are virtual and part of an acquired company -They do not empower their people to make business decisions. Multiple levels of approval required for simple requests. -All about increasing customer renewal fees and positioning unrelated software from other struggling business units. Very much a sense it's all about further investments in ECM and holding a slight edge against other competitors.
