Pros

Salaries are in median range in comparison to competitors and benefits package is fair market. Good customer portfolio but most are from acquired companies.

Cons

Poor work/life balance and lack of consistency by CEO. Corporate vision is short-sighted and CEO only understands tactical not strategic growth. Decisions are made but change frequently occurs before that decision can run it's course or prove to be successful. Lack of decorum and respect by CEO has created a hostile work environment where he intimidates rather than fosters collaboration. This has resulted in key execs leaving as well as many talented people to leave the company.

Pros

If you are a tech worker with poor-to-mediocre but not exceptional skills, this is a decent place for a career that will largely stay the same. It is fairly easy to be a Wally (the Dilbert character). I hear that it's a fairly good company to work for if you are residing in India. Working hours are flexible. There are some interesting projects to work on. If you want experience managing outsourced Indian resources, this is a good place to learn those skills.

Cons

* Absolutely horrid HR and ServiceDesk. Critical mistakes made regularly, regarding taxes, benefits, and pay. * It's basically an Indian outsourcing company masquerading as a local company. * People are treated as chattel and resources, not as people. * Pay is quite low, and though there is a bonus structure, the structure and company goals are set such that it is minimized even if personal reviews are strong. * Skill and efficiency are not rewarded. * Almost zero room for advancement. * Company direction is pursuing quick gains at the cost of future customers. * Reviews of all products made by company are mediocre at best. * Raises are nearly nonexistent.
