Pros

- Nice people to work with - Diverse customer base allows you to experience different industry verticals, and technical environments - Good salary and bonus structure - Flexible work structure, work from home - Leader in on-premise integration. This provides opportunity to become an ESB, SOA expert

Cons

- Process-oriented, leading to several inefficiencies in obtaining approval on almost everything - German leadership has not identified the uniqueness of the North America market and their policies do not deliver - Recent acquisitions have not delivered - Aggressive sales stance not very customer-friendly - Career paths not very well defined at manager level and above - Leadership is trying to grow by acquisition, and not providing enough $$ to R&D internally. This will result in a challenge in staying competitive and expanding into newer markets such as cloud based integration. - Need a focused effort in offering a strong UI product to showcase value of the overall product suite
