Pros

Unfortunately, There are no pros that come with working here in my experience. Honestly. It is a paycheck, albeit a very low one for this industry and position.

Cons

Low pay for industry, no real career path, only promote yes men and friends, if you question anything you are looked at poorly. They do not like free thinkers who question poor decisions. Director and Management is extremely unexperienced and do not know how to manage people. The products are very outdated. Having purchased most of their software from other companies, none of the products work well together. They keep trying to bring in new partners when they should be focused on building and developing a suite of products that actually works together. They are way behind the competition.

Pros

There are still some good engineers left at the company.

Cons

The new CEO has moved the company from the cloud back to local data centers and has moved the company from a software company to a services company.

Thank you for your opinions. But please refrain from stating our Company's recognition by "Built in Chicago" and "GlassDoor" as a "best place to work" for three years running is somehow "gamed". That is insulting to every individual working hard and diligently at SilkRoad to serve our clients in new and better ways, while holding each other accountable to a high-performance culture. Innovative change and improvement are hard to achieve...and our people are doing that and being recognized for their efforts. Please don't diminish it with libelous and scurrilous comments, which also implies Built in Chicago and GlassDoor are unethically run. Best of luck with your career and I hope you find a long-term fit for your skills and desires.
