Pros

Location: easily accessible from 401/409/427. The M2M industry is booming. It is a public company listed as BSM Technologies, so some level of transparency there in terms of what's going on within the company.

Cons

Very old technology. System is built on ASP.NET website NOT even Web Application, and SQL Server 2000. Running in Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6. Job descriptions are misleading mentioning all the new technology but they don't use those. Just to attract new people, they just put them there. Promotes individualism, no team, no document, no process what so ever. Technology talents are leaving every week. Employee turnover rate is very high within R&D.

Pros

They are starting to use others hardware, their hardware has numerous issues and is not supported. Snow plow solution is only positive, focus is on one vertical. Recent merger is not going well, change of platform and hardware are primary issue, along with lagging products.

Cons

Where to start: horrible products and support, customer needs are not considered at all. Sales strategy is sell, sell, who cares if it works. Management is inexperienced in transportation integration, stand alone product.

Pros

- Lots of great people (across sales, customer service, product development, etc.) with incredible knowledge about our customers and verticals - New products and solutions being developed or planned - Tons of potential to contribute to building a company and carve out your own path - Lots of autonomy and ownership (maybe this depends on which part of the organization you are in, but I've seen this span across many departments)

Cons

- To be honest, the actual technology isn't that special. Every telematics company appears to try the same things. Applying the technology to solve our customers' problems is the exciting part! - Old products appear to be beasts to deal with, but thankfully there are plans to end-of-life them - Change is hard for some people, especially those that have been here forever - Some people lack experience working in modern tech companies
