Pros
Company is well funded and has active hiring and recruitment. Internal opportunities are abundant, and recent changes to become more corporate mean that there are clearly defined and scoped responsibilities for all staff and clear guidance on what is required to advance. Lots of work to do and lots of opportunities to add value as they are currently transforming the company from a development shop to a global cloud service provider.
Cons
Management is from the old generation (print and ship a CD), and doesn't have a mindset or experience managing a global cloud service provider (ingest customer data). They don't take information security seriously (e.g. staff are required to take security training, management is not). Time to Market is prioritized over Quality and Cost. Fundamental security controls are disabled to ship product faster (resulting in delays as it actually takes longer to ship insecure software that doesn't follow standard processes), development staff lose respect for non-technical senior managers making seriously incorrect technical decisions. Pay rate is still lower than average, but dynamic nature of the cloud product mean there are many more changes coming and many opportunities for career growth.
