Great products, good employees, management needs some work
Pros
I worked on the Penguin side of the company before the merger. The products were consistently good quality, even if they weren't always successful. We were held to high standards, which were well worth it. Any time that customers had issues, we worked together to correct the problem. There was a lot of cooperation in that effort. Culture was okay, with some overly competitive types, but mostly collaborative personalities. Pay and benefits were a little low, but more or less competitive in the marketplace.
Cons
As with anywhere, budget cuts come along, and management is not at its best, hogging the life preserver for themselves, so as cuts played out, the company became even more top-heavy than necessary, and appears to still be that way, after the merger.
