Pros

Traveling for training and work. Some people at the Southlake location are great. Edith and Oliver are amazing people. Unfortunate they're associated to Isis. The consultants are amazing people, as well as the sales staff. There are others that have been beaten by the CEO's system and have accepted their fate as a life-timer.

Cons

They make you pay for your own coffee, expect you to clock in and out every day, daily reports to the CEO, minimal benefits, and grumpy employees. There are so many wrong things about the companies culture. If you're a traveling consultant, they expect you to traveling almost 90% of the time when they tell you 25-50% in the interview. I've witnessed this first hand. People won't see their families for months and months. They don't care about employees, and when I say they, I'm referring to the CEO. She micromanages each and every employee by requiring daily updates, but is unresponsive when someone has a question or concern. Your manager isn't really your manager, because the manager just relays all problems to the CEO and takes ages to get a response. When traveling, you get minimum traveling funds. They will only pay for your taxi to and from the airport. If the company buys you lunch, you will receive no per diem for that entire day. The justification? The lunch is large enough to make you last till the next day. The system is outdated and will not help with finding another job.

Pros

- Great colleagues and friendly environment in the Barcelona office. - Flexible schedule. - Competitive salary.

Cons

- Lack of a development process due to management's unwillingness to follow methodologies. No meaningful planning nor requirements. Re-implementing things over and over again and last minute changes is common practice. - You will get a card to check-in and check-out in the office. They track your working hours to the minute. Crazy this happens in a tech company in 21st century. - The product, although technically challenging, is completely out of sync with the rest of the world. Constantly trying very hard to answer the wrong technical questions. - Old school, slow moving company. - No career plan. Not a single performance review from my manager during my time there. - Every year around April the company hosts its main event. Expect to work lots of overtime, including weekends, for at least two weeks straight. You might also have to travel to the outskirts of Vienna during this time. Overtime is not payed. - The Barcelona offices are in bad shape and outdated. I was told it was only temporary. Not true. They've been there since they opened the Barcelona office +4 years ago. - Although it's a relatively big company there is no middle management. You will, like most people, respond directly to the Vice President. Heavy micromanagement from his behalf. - Huge egos among senior management make them oblivious about the mistakes they make.

Pros

Good product, enjoyed some European culture

Cons

Founder/and senior management don't understand their marketing weakness. Pricing is not adaptive or competitive, so few recent sales in past 7 years. Very little employee training, and a work office environment that was terrible (open floor, no privacy, hard to make sales or support calls).
