Okay as a stepping stone. Not the best for the long-term unless you are willing to settle. - Software Developer Applied Systems Employee Review

Pros

The people that stick around here are mostly good people. I call some of my favorites actual friends. They enjoy coding by their quiet selves or enjoy helping people over the phone. Management can be nice, depending on what team you land in when you start or get moved around. The office is large and nice, and has an atrium they use to offer a few perks.

Cons

Upper management is turning into a clown car of corporate drones. They can't help it; it's their natural way. But they are starting to get top-heavy, and really only care about growing. Our regular meetings are filled with charts showing how much money they are making and what companies we are buying out, but that doesn't mean it will end up in our pockets. Instead, they just spend it on more executives and on their precious corporate image. We have a lot of offices now, but wages are barely fair. They almost are equal in each office, but living costs in those respective areas are greatly different. This should be a factor when deciding wages. That's a simple fact that's over-looked from what I've heard from employees in the remote/smaller offices.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
