Pros

Decent salary. In downtown Chicago office you can escape the Hoffman Estates environment, ran by yes men.

Cons

Everything else. Including threats to return to Hoffman Estates office even though you were hired to work downtown.

Pros

Small company that was very agile. You had great influence on the direction of the company without a bunch of red tape. If your ideas were solid, upper management would listen and many times let you run with it.

Cons

Syclo no longer exists, we were purchased by SAP a few years back. After the merger, the mojo was lost as people and departments were assimilated into the SAP borg.
