Pros

There are few; 1) Paychecks are timely (for now), 2) Some customers are "captive" - in too deep to easily leave Covisint (Automotive), 3) long tenured caring employees.

Cons

The operation is not run in a professional manner. The managment team is incompetent. Entirely. In sum, if you look at their careers you will see an unbroken string of failure(s) and I am confident they have not learned from their experiences. The CEO, CFO, and Counsel are dishonest, opaque, and self interested retreads - not out for the good of the company but rather protecting their paychecks at the expense of all else. I really can't say enough bad things about this inept group. The contracts they book are "one off" documents that are both poorly thought out and poorly executed.

Pros

- Worked from home - Many great people to work with - Excellent lip service about the future of the organization

Cons

- Laid off after 10+ years of exemplary service and offered an deplorable severance package - Seriously, they should be embarrassed by the severance offer - Could only collect on this abysmal severance package if I signed away every legal right - Lied to me about paying accrued vacation and tried to get me to sign away my rights to claim it - Consistently told me for months that my employment was safe until they fired me - Made it a point at every meeting to discuss how difficult it is to find good people yet did not allow me to apply for other positions in the company - Did not receive raises for many years despite excellent performance reviews
