Pros

The great, fun culture that started with Appature (purchased by IMS in 2013) has remained. I get to work with very smart, knowledgeable people. No one is working me to the bone. Nice view, free parking.

Cons

Upper level management (above the Seattle office) has no idea how to run a software company. Direction keeps changing every few months. Apparently we're Salesforce developers now.

Pros

Resources and access to good studies to be successful in research, immediate PTO benefits, 401k match.

Growth opportunities/compensation - besides the annual merit raises of <3 percent I haven’t gotten a raise in 5 years.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
