Pros

Very interesting business area Product suite worldwide popularity Good and renowned client base Entrepreneurial mindset Founders do everything they can (clearly more than the average do) to keep the company running and have a strong belief they will find ways to overcome the roadblocks. Creative company in what regards product conceptualization and solving issues and crisis.

Cons

The more important downside is the lack of good management and development practices through out the company. Which is worsened by the majority of middle management not having the needed Software Product Development know-how and experience to let them make the right decisions and set the right directions. Task-force/crisis oriented management and management by fear. Change resistance. Organizational and process changes will only become a reality if decided and/or actively sponsored by the President. Outdated technology stack (Flash/AS2), architectural strategy (business logic in PL/SQL) and versioning processes.

Pros

- Great team spirit; - Opportunities for promotions within the company; - Healthcare and life insurance for everyone

Cons

- long working hours; - Salaries not paid in time (in all my time there never received a salary on time); - Training provided only about softwares the company developed (even this training is limited), does not provide training in methodologies and technologies used by the company; - lack of proper middle management; - the company future and course is decided by the president. Every small decision is made by him which takes time from him to focus on what he should be doing = new contracts and obtain money to pay his employers on time.
