It was a good place to work - Anonymous employee Cognos Employee Review

good work life balance, great technology on the Cognos Business Analytics product set

IBM is not fast enough at innovating and making modernization releases to keep up with the Tableau's Qlik's of the world/

It was a positive environment/culture. Very smart people with great ideas that were heard. People were committed to provide tools for sales & services to make and keep the customer happy. The training and services team always helped each other- sharing knowledge, best practices, tips & tricks at any hour of the day. Ron Zambonini was the most passionate and engaging CEO.

A bubble burst when Ron stepped down as CEO in '04. I think the prod dev had a big miss with the web dev of analysis studio, very weak against PowerPlay. Was a boys club and not everyone was allowed in.
