Pros

The products that Bonterra inherited through the merger are solid and the customer base extensive.

Cons

Customer care is lacking, not because of the customer care teams but because the company has been starved. The knowledge base inside the company is starved. The rounds of layoffs drained the experience. What is left is stretched too thin. Morale is starved. HR's ridiculous incentive plans and the double-speak of "total compensation" is fooling no one. Product vision is absent. With so many existing paths to success trying to bend the customers to a branding exercise instead of unifying the products to build out synergies is silly. It also won't work. Look how well a focus on brand management has turned out for Boeing products. This ship is top heavy and will capsize.

Pros

good benefits, great co workers, meaningul work

Cons

Upper leadership is horrible, they have had 4 layoffs in the last 2 to 3 years. Leadership has tanked the culture completely, encouraging product managers to bully developers saying "put a boot in their a**" when developers push back on deadlines. Leadership seems fine with laying off employees at the slightest problem rather than working to grow their employees. I worked there for three years, the beginning of my experience was good but the end was horrible right before i was let go with absolutely no warning, Each c-suite leader brings in their own buddies rather than growing the existing employees which results in mistrust and a horrible employee experience Used to be a good company but now just feels like a sinking ship.
