Pros

Being in a small-mid size software company, there are some roles that cross over many different areas of the business. I personally am never siloed into doing just one task on a day-to-day. My manager is very open to my ideas, he gives me the ability to work on my own without interference as long as I get my tasks done and review with him. If I have any issues he is very open to talk to about it. On this subject, Openlink's CEO is also very approachable (if he has time). He was an employee for about 20 years before being promoted to CEO recently. Great benefits and depending on your role, there is an ability to work from home when needed. The organization is very accommodating like that. There are opportunities for upward mobility as well as horizontal if you want to explore other functions within the company. The office environment is great with a brand new 2 floors in the Uniondale Office, they try to make the office a happy and fun place to work, and coworkers are generally friendly and nice.

Cons

Not all teams interact fully with each other, there are still some siloed functions.

Pros

Work life balance is on par; 401K matching is good if you value retirement beyond career; Good midtown NYC location

Cons

Where do I start? I give it a 2 start only because I'm not dissatisfied with my manager, and that it is a job. This place is falling apart - no knowledge sharing, no teamwork, nobody cares how the person sits next to you is doing. Everybody is thinking of their own short term interest. Even the management wants to grab the last drop of cash flow and leave. Yes, the business is still a cash machine. But it is no longer as lucrative so don't be surprised to get your bonus taken away from the PE owner by year end. The technology is so old that you feel like living in the early 90s. Be prepared to sit at your desk all day without anybody talking to you. Good employees leave soon after they join. The better an employee is the sooner they leave because everybody knows this place is a serious joke. Don't join this company if they pay you good money. Don't join this company if you don't like financial software, because if you do, it'd make you so miserable that you'll never forget how bad a decision you've made. Most importantly, what you learn at this company isn't likely going to be useful at other places, except the politics, perhaps. Join if you think about retirement, or know someone powerful in the company. Good luck.
