Pros

Working for a company that is constantly in crisis management mode is a good skill builder. However, if this style is maintained for more than three months, then something needs to change.

Cons

Technical debit is unlike anything I have ever seen. They sell much, much more than they can develop. They do not understand why they lose customers. Project Managers, having no say as to how the product is developed, are held accountable for both late deliverables and missing customer-specific requirements. Always seems to be a core group of non-management employees that work 60+ hours a week (consistently) while a majority of others work 40-45 hours per week. Upper management is out of touch with issues tied to the software, and they seem to have a fascination with outsourcing projects that in-house developers can easily handle.

Pros

You are given many opportunities to excel in your career. Everyone supports each other and wants the best for the company.

Cons

Since this is a SaaS company, it has those same challenges that every tech business runs into. If you don't like change, a fast paced environment or helping in whatever way you can to see the company succeed, then you need not apply.

Pros

The core group of people from Middle Management, Business Analysts, Developers and QA , where dedicated, hardworking, skilled individuals. Strong bonds of friendship were formed. This group did what ever it took to take care of the client including working some excessive hours for long periods of time.

Cons

The highest levels of management forgot the core values of Thinkgate which allowed the company to expanded rapidly. Lost focus on loyal clients that got you to the top in order to chase after what appeared to be high profile clients.
