Pros
Working at Precisely, formerly Syncsort, has provided me with the most interesting and challenging mix of experiences I have had in my career. Due to the rapid growth of the company there is always a new challenge to address--or even better--new employees to include in our teams, from whom we can learn different and better ways of working. When I have the privilege of being part of an interview team to recruit for a particular position, I always say that Precisely is a "We culture" and not an "I culture" -- when you work here you are part of a team that collaborates to find the best result, and no one would ever characterize a strong outcome as something "I did on my own." We have a strong focus on communication via weekly blogs from the CEO, weekly team meetings and one on one meetings with managers, and quarterly All Hands meetings where the exec team shares the financial results and strategy for the company. Our CEO focuses on being transparent with information (to the extent possible) so that employees and teams understand where the business is going and know how they can contribute to our collective success.
Cons
Growth, especially via M&A is hard. It requires a constant need for change management and the ability to be comfortable with living in transition while we integrate. If you thrive on variety and challenge and want to "build a better mousetrap" Precisely is an amazing place to work. If prefer minimal change, it may not be a fit for you.
