Pros

There are some good people there and I made some good friends while working at Open Scam. The office is reasonably nice. The location is reasonably convenient.

Cons

Like another post said, check your personal values at the door. It is hands down one of the strangest working environments you might ever encounter. You're told to lie to the customer - not just stretch the truth. If you are in sales, you can rely on not being paid appropriately for commissions and bonuses for whatever made-up reason that comes to management's mind. The software development process is about as unstructured as it gets. Release dates and functionality are rarely met on time and with accuracy. I could go on. No workplace is perfect... and this one sets the dysfunctional bar.

Pros

Lots of friendly people. Each group (Sales, Professinal Services, Development) has a nice mix of hardworking and good natured people. The veteran leaders of each group know what it takes to get the job done; so if you are unsure of something, there is someone who knows the answer. Unsanctioned team activities (poker, game night, golf, etc) are very enjoyable. There is a gym in the basement, a massage chair upstairs and plenty of candy.

Cons

There is more focused placed on the aesthetics of the company than on the software product itself. Instead of spending funds enhancing what looks to be a college sophmores 1998 computer science project, "leadership" likes to purchase lots and lots of art, expand the size of the office unnessarily and build things onto the office. "Leadership" will micro manage very odd parts of your life. Forget to use the handrail going down the stairs, that's a scolding. Forget to take your shoes off in the winter, another scolding. Of all things though, make sure that you attend the summer and winter company parties. You miss one of those and you may as well look for another job. Notice something that the company can improve on and relay that to management, that's a firing (don't ever mention anything about improvements to benefits). Oh, even though you are a salaried adult, you are expected to clock in and out. You should know that if you take a job here you need to walk on eggshells.

Pros

Great people, facilities, viable industry-defining product in an emerging market. Small company feel, great plan for growth in the industry.

Cons

Small company feel. One of the most difficult sales I've ever seen. Personalities. Cliques.
