Pros

Good technical experience in enterprise software development.

It is the intelligent, hard-working people at the lowest level that makes this company what it is!

Cons

Too much emphasis on return to shareholders, at the expense of decent employee salaries. All upper management care about are acquisitions, acquisitions, and more acquisitions, which doesn't instill a lot of confidence in employees who are often working on competing projects.

Advice to Management

Stop worrying about your performance bonuses and stock options and start making decisions in the best interests of the employees you manage. Quit acquiring companies and start having some faith in your own employees. Stop buying back your own stock and start paying us what we are worth.
