Pros
Encouragement to grow and learn (tuition coverage), opportunity for advancement, employee engagement, company laptop and phone, performance based bonus, solid benefits, stocked pop vending machine and free coffee.
Cons
Lots of travel. They call you a TPS, but you are so much more - project coordinator, consultant, tester, technical support... All great experience if you're a new grad, but pay doesn't reflect the variety of tasks they expect of you. Not uncommon to work 70+ hours, especially when travelling When flying on weekends, they don't provide lieu days. I lost about 7-8 Sundays due to travel and never got paid for them. It's just "part of the job". The software is incredibly dated, so you don't get the opportunity to work with the "latest and greatest" tools.

Pros
For the director position, bonuses were great - paid predominantly with CSI stock. CSI continues to do very well.
Cons
Definitely a cash cow type company for CSI, the parent organization. It's all about providing sticky software at a premium list price and re-occurring maintenance. Any cost is considered a necessary evil, and so the company culture is not to provide innovative, progressive solutions, or world class services. It's to focus on sales. I highly effective strategy, as the CSI stock continues to climb, but not the best place for those looking to do innovative, great things for their clients.

Pros
Multiple legacy software products and teams in a close-knit office environment. Some really great people. Quite reasonable management, nothing really unexpected, fairly sedate development environment. I liked it there, still keep in touch with a number of Trapeze staff.
Cons
High turnover and large legacy systems.

Pros
Great vacation policy Good people at the Cleveland Office Nice downtown location Laid-back work atmosphere Employees not micro-managed Mostly insulated from parent corporation politics Heathcare benefits are excellent
Cons
Software suite is a hodge-podge of disjointed products that don't work together. Software is outdated, and competition has surpassed Trapeze Most of the developers have been let go, so enhancements and fixes are extremely slow to materialize Compensation is poor Career advancement opportunities are scarce 401k Employer contribution is basically non-existant

Pros
Trapeze Group Asia Pacific is part of Modaxo, which in turn is part of CSI, inc (Canadian). It is a solid company, building excellent software in a defined vertical.
Cons
By definition a CSI company is excellent at building software in their prescribed domain. There is no chance for variation from that.

Pros
Trapeze was built in part by merging in different companies with different products and different ways of doing things, so your mileage may vary. But I had friendly coworkers and a friendly manager, and was never asked to work overtime.
Cons
Pay was relatively low. In my software group there was no agile methodology, no attention to best practices, little opportunity for professional development. Mississauga used an internal graphical programming tool that was horrible. My suggestions or improvement to more senior staff were ignored (though perhaps I'm too soft-spoken with such things.)
