Pros

Owned by Siemens. Some well respected industry leaders (Larsh J and Chris King).

Cons

Inability to deliver product due to lack of foresight into development constraint and making unrealistic promises to customers. Senior executives ( excluding co founders) who are out for themselves only, and have no commitment to stay in the space or leadership drive for developing employees' careers. This includes the current President, the former CEO, most anyone with a VP title. A culture if it can be called that of intrigue, favoritism, back stabbing, and every man for himself. MDM is not a platform with any huge growth prospects. Very high turnover in the engineering and development arena. Lack of product management expertise in Utility processes.

Pros

Good job security, nice company vehicle, company work phone. As a site Installation Tech, I do not feel micromanaged.

Cons

Raises are not good, only way to get a large pay jump is maybe from a promotion. Mostly, people have had to switch branches to get larger pay increases. Company barely does any for of fun team building events due to pinching pennies. Products have poor documentation for tech work which can get very frustrating.
