Pros

Empowered employees, start-up culture, work-life balance, directness, passionate colleagues, customers that are changing the world. Opportunities for lateral movement. Always looking at investing in new tech and acquisitions. Managers understand the value of employees prototyping new ideas, failing and learning - continue to encourage such behavior from all.

Cons

We have done badly at branding our company. Although it is changing, we could do better by publishing more of our enterprise customers' stories. We don't invest much in (some regions) interns and fresh grads. We could bring more energy in by doing more. For a design software maker - many of our office spaces aren't the most beautiful.

Pros

Great products, very diverse portfolio of design software. Company is a survivor of multiple disruptions over the past 30 years. Loyal customers altho some don't have a choice.

Cons

Easily distracted, subject to "shiny object syndrome" making it difficult to follow through on key initiatives. Company has grown slowly relative to other ISV's in similar segment such as Adobe.

Pros

Work is varied and interesting, with solid growth and new opportunities, lots of opportunity for travel. The culture is respectful and nurtures employees who wish to explore new opportunities. Colleagues are intelligent and nice people for the most part, and management respects work life balance

Cons

As with any large company, some processes can be bureaucratic and cumbersome, with too many people involved in a process. Sometimes hard to get oversight of what other departments or geographical divisions are working on
