Pros

InterAct still has a bunch of employees who are firmly dedicated to Public Safety and its mission. Benefits package is competitive.

Cons

Since the acquisition by N. Harris Computer Corporation, the amount of internal and external communications have decreased. Customers and Employees seem to be leaving without any proactive response by management.

Pros

Interact's strength is the large percentage of front-line employee's who have Public Safety experience. The employees that carry out the day to day operations at the customer level are by far the greatest group of people I have ever worked with.

Cons

The company was hijacked by private equity as a play on cloud-based and SaaS computing. 4 years worth of investing, positions on the board, C-level leadership from silicone valley who were too arrogant to listen to the fact that public safety is different than the latest start-up app. They wanted to flip the company for hundreds of millions. Instead, the "revenue is king" strategy brought the company to the edge of the cliff. The new company that bought up Interact will eventually right the ship, I believe, but it will be a long process.

Pros

My co-workers are awesome. Most of us have been here for a long time and I have made many lifelong friends.

Cons

The company was acquired by Harris and they have never taken on a company of this size so they're floundering. They promised there wouldn't be any more employee layoffs but, they have continually let people go since they took over. The management team is driven by their own egos and not by whats best for the company or customers. HR is nearly non-existent.

Pros

The product serves the safety and well being of people and property.

Cons

The new management team have huge ego's. I was fired for disagreeing w a manager. His ego was bruised so he decided to show me who's boss. Ridiculous.

Pros

Very passionate employees who serve their community

Cons

No clear strategy for success
