Business outlook
Pros
Great people. Lots of technical know-how. Good pay and benefits. Currently underperforming in a huge market, so there may be a chance for rapid growth if the ongoing turn-around is successful.
Cons
Shifting from building products in-house to integrating products from other vendors. This is essential to the survival of the company, but it makes the work less interesting. Most of the development happens in India. The offshore team is very talented and professional, but late night meetings are not great for work/life balance. Currently in turn-around mode (private equity). Owners are imposing much-needed financial discipline, but unfortunately this means periodic layoffs in some areas to pay for growth in others.
