Pros

Nice people. Well known in the industry.

Cons

When they say they have hundreds of installs of their enterprise product that means they have installed it but not sold it. They sold me on a bill of goods to sell a product that was not ready for prime time and then they didnt even bother to tell me they had countless returns and virtually no referenceable accounts except for their smaller product for hair salon schools. They have their sales reps dialing for dollars instead of providing marketing to generate incoming calls. They use CRM like an address book and when you try to use it the correct way to log calls etc they would tell you to do it the wrong way because that is the way they have always done it. I do not suggest this company unless you are ok with treading water and making one of the lowest income packages in the software business.

Pros

Good location, nice people, and a casual work environment. Great place to work except for the work.

Cons

Terrible management; crazy work environment, reacting to customer issues rather than taking a proactive approach. Constantly shifting priorities made every day stressful and unknown. No communication from management as to one's performance; if you don't get fired or laid off, guess you are doing a good job. New management brings in their own people and gives the crap work to the people with the most knowledge while the new people get to work on the good stuff. Another professional touch is to lay off a software developer and then advertise for their position a few weeks later, real classy organization. So, so happy to no longer work there.
