Pros

Wynyard is used by so few organisations that it won't take long for them to replace the Wynyard software with something user friendly that has all the features they need. The talented employees you made redundant around the world found new jobs despite working at Wynyard.

Cons

I need to remove this brown stain from my LinkedIn profile. I would rather have this time period shown as being incarcerated rather than being associated professionally for working at Wynyard. I was warned about this company and feel very stupid for joining. If you see anything above a 2 star rating for this company make sure you read between the lines. If you are thinking about investing do some serious homework and question everything you see, read and hear. Question without reservation any gaps you see and any forward looking statements. If you hear of a sale question how big and all the conditions do not take anything on face value. Cyber really? Hope you are not betting the ranch on that one.... whatever happened to your digital forensics solution?

Pros

You will be forced to learn a lot quickly. There are a few good people working in every region, but you don't need to ruin your career by working here to meet them.

Cons

The products aren't what is marketed, not even close. Training is non existent. Documentation isn't there. As an SA your day job includes doing miracle demos to get deals across the line for sales teams who refuse to listen to you about the immaturity of the products, all the while pretending bugs in the system are you pressing the wrong button! You have to look police in the eye and tell them the software will solve their problems. This company is really Jade with slicker branding. The senior managers are all Jade or Methodware and so is their knowledge of technology and even sales. They are so out of their depth it's staggering. Wynyard is an R&D company not a sales company. I think that's why it's wasted so much shareholder money. They keep launching product developments to keep egos happy, but they're not anything sales have asked for and so they don't sell. Despite this they just don't build the basics properly. Have a try before you buy! It's obvious.

Pros

Branding is excellent. exciting industry. The investigations tool is excellent. Frontline staff are generally great, with some really good operators. They are let down by middle managers.

Cons

Getting shafted by management who are only interested in job protection rather than advancing the companies interests. Management looking for scapegoats, not solutions. Unfinished products. Lead Investigations analyst creating solutions that are unfit for purpose because "she knows what they need, even if they don't"
