Pros

If you're lucky, you'll absorb what's left of a strong brand history and product legacy that once was created by an even stronger culture of corporate pride and identity; excelling, achieving, and setting the bar for organic tech innovation; and placing a maniacal focus on product quality, and superlative customer service.

Cons

The only focus is on shareholder value and stock price. Employees and customers are regularly sacrificed to make financial reporting goals. Quality department virtually non-existent outside of a small pocket in Supply Chain. ISO 9000 and other standards of excellence have been abandoned. Ratio of experienced employees (+5 years) to newer, inexperienced employees (<5 years) is 1:1. Small cabal of executives have let their egos run amok and publicly reward each other for every increase in stock price, but say/ do nothing to acknowledge or justify the chaos that exists among under-staffed, brain-drained, teams.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance: The company respects personal time and maintains a healthy, sustainable work environment. Strong and supportive leadership: Management is genuinely invested in employee success and actively encourages upskilling. Opportunities for technical diversification: I joined as a Salesforce CPQ Developer, and leadership supported me in training for MuleSoft alongside my existing role. I am now handling both platforms and built deep expertise in MuleSoft Integration by successfully completing 4 projects. Great career growth: Thanks to the leadership team's encouragement and the opportunities provided, there is a clear, proven path for expanding my technical stack and advancing my career.

Cons

I do not have any cons to report at this time. It has been a great place to work and grow my career.
