Pros

Paychecks Occurred. Fun to work along with so many women coders for a change.

Cons

They do not know how to run a software company. No working from home, extra hours expected always, tense working environment every day. Management is ex-military style, they do not care about you. Everything is CYA. No time or room for innovation. Worst "software" company I ever worked for. Idiots micro-managing professionals. Constant fire-fight because they will not invest to get things done right and within reasonable time frames. Biggest tight wad / penny pinchers I've ever seen. Only get paid once a month!

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
