Pros

Cool technology; mobile space is growing IL HQ is nice; covered parking helps deal with IL winters! Some smart, dedicated colleagues

Cons

The Employee Benefits package is extremely poor, as compared to similar size companies within the same industry. HR refuses to acknowledge this and/or do anything about it. No clear direction in terms of personal growth; promotion oppty, etc. Inter-departmental communication needs improvement

Pros

Small company that was very agile. You had great influence on the direction of the company without a bunch of red tape. If your ideas were solid, upper management would listen and many times let you run with it.

Cons

Syclo no longer exists, we were purchased by SAP a few years back. After the merger, the mojo was lost as people and departments were assimilated into the SAP borg.
