Pros

Possible free product training, but that never came to fruition.

Cons

Fair amount of dishonest communication from upper-management. Promises made but once hired you'll get the "You have to do what's best for the company. This is what you signed up for" rhetoric. Absentee managers from both SAGGS and clients make it as difficult as possible to have your performance accurately portrayed.

Pros

Legacy software provider - there are customers that use parts of the technology stack for the last 5-30 years, however, most of them are unhappy or unaware of the footprint that exists as it's OEM thru another relationship or plumbing.

Cons

Zero brand awareness - competing with IBM, Oracle, Mulesoft that dominate the market. Operates as a legacy provider by rebranding with new shiny marketing around 'platform' and selling a whiteboard session with customers. 10+ technologies that do not sing together and if you ask for the 'quick story', people look at you funny. Revenue goals are surpassed only by large deals paid/booked upfront as total contract value that are financed over 3-5 years. Sales talent internally is C-. No equity. The customers are unhappy and pay a lot of money to continue to use legacy plumbing technology that they cannot rip/replace. High turnover with sales teams. Overall, the company is cheap - new hire training felt like a high school project and the first night included dinner with executives (no actual dinner) - there are very few people that make consistent high W2's at this company.

Pros

* Very good technology and work, i have learnt a lot in my last 4 years with the company, very good colleagues, surrounded with good tech, brainy and helpful people. * Decent pay, if not the best, better than many (some of my team members who went out for higher pay did not like the work in the new place and many have come back!!). * Flexibility is there (if used correctly).

Cons

- work pressure bit high, managers are pushy for more work, some qa processes sucks! (but no escape - seems to work though!) - benefits are not on par (no transport, no stocks) - not much trainings (unless you ask for), you need to struggle to keep yourself updated
