No work/life balance

Pros

Some great products/solutions. Breadth of offerings to sell to enterprise customers. Few great and talented people still around.

Cons

They are too busy acquiring companies to fix what is already broken from all of the poor integrations and poorly executed salesforce implementations. All of the system burdens are on sales. Little to no back office support and they are so burned out that they do not even try to help. Systems take so much time away from actual selling. How can a company who sells data integrity and data governance have THOUSANDS of accounts that are the same company? All of the crazy workarounds to make a deal close are insane. Culture disregards how much experience or knowledge you have - they dismiss you. They could be in a role for a year and there are people who have been there 20 years but their feedback is useless/disregarded. Employees are not valued/ they are disposable. They will lay off a hundred to make a sale to another private equity look good. Then they will hire back twice as many at half the cost but with 1/4 the knowledge to back fill once the transaction is complete but all of the talent and knowledge is lost. It is a never ending cycle with private equity financing. Someone at the top is clearly profiting from this, the rest are just running the hamster wheel. There is Pressure to perform is fierce.

Growing, but not thoughtfully

Pros

Market compensation Some great coworkers. Smart, driven, and fun to work with

Cons

Precisely (Formerly known as Syncsort) has grown tremendously over the past 5 years. The acquisitions of Trillium Software, Vision Solutions, and most recently Pitney Bowes Software & Data have about doubled the size of the company each time. This has catapulted the company from $60m to $600m in revenue in a relatively short period. This is fantastic if you have an equity stake in the company, but for the normal employees (Who were not laid off after each merger) it has become a dreadful place to work. Each of the aforementioned acquisitions came with awful back-end systems, and Syncsort itself has never been particularly strong in this area, so several teams are left holding things together with shoe string and bubble gum. Everyone is stressed, overworked, and frankly burnt out. I would advise prospective employees reading this review to think about the value of work-life balance before accepting an offer.
