Pros

Smart employees, flexible hours and PTO. Not a bad place if you have a strong manager to protect against the BS rolling down from the top.

Cons

Upper management is clueless and fickle. A mid-sized company that long aspired to be a large company (and at least achieved the ridiculous layers of bureaucracy thereof) now want to re-invent itself as a hot new start-up. No idea or patience on how to achieve reform except to lay people off at random.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
