Pros

Three years ago, Fincad was a great place. The legacy product was still popular. The company had a long list of clients who had great things to say about it, a new product with interesting potential, and lots of good, smart and ambitious people working for it. It had lots of problems all right, but they were all somehow manageable.

Cons

Things went downhill for Fincad since the COO started putting his old buddies on the executive team. That would have worked out great if they were all experienced, competent professionals that they claim to be. Sadly, they are just a bunch of wannabees.

In bad shape and about to get worse...

Pros

The company has decent benefits, including vacation and competitive salaries. There are some very smart and dedicated people who work here.

Cons

Many people have indicated in their reviews that the executive team is the biggest problem here and I couldn't agree more. Well one is finally leaving but regrettably the wrong one. Don't know her personally, but unlike all the others she seems very knowledgeable and down to earth. Everyone is saying this is a huge loss for the company Overhead in the lunchroom " the voice of reason is leaving the building and you know something is majorly wrong when your CFO quits after 20 years" Of course the "corporate message" is the usual twisting of the facts to make things seem less dire... Sales are ridiculously low and there's not much hope of improvement . They laid off several people last month and then 2 days later we are forced to attend a release celebration with cake and champagne ?!? I say forced because you don't want to become their next victim. They seem doomed to fail for many reasons. The new F3 product is too complicated and certainly nowhere near market ready - even people who work here have trouble using it and /or say they can't sell it . They opened offices around the world and they are not successful ...I hear they are closing one right now and I wouldn't be surprised if more will follow. Taking shots in the dark hoping to hit something is not a viable strategy.

Pros

Plenty of smart, dedicated and hard-working people doing genuinely interesting work. Exposure to a large client base can be a great plus.

Cons

The company is in a bad state. The only reason it is still afloat is that CAD lost 20% of its value this year, making its losses 20% lower . The executive team is a waste of human flesh on a scale that could not be replicated even if Kim Kardashian teamed up with shirtless Fabio and Pamela Anderson to perform greatest hits of Italo Disco. There is no light at the end of the tunnel until they are all gone, and that just won't happen.
