Pros

Salary competitive.

I had a great boss after the acquisition. They left me alone mostly, as long as the work got done.

Cons

No more innovation after acquisition. It seemed mostly interested in grinding as much monetary gain out of the existing product as possible.

No real advancement opportunities.

Advice to Management

It's so big I don't know if it's possible to change anything. Management seems content to attempt to reduce headcount as much as possible and focus on short-term profit.
