Pros
Revolutionary products that have the capability of changing the standard way an application is developed and monitored Patents protect core functionality that keep competition to a minimal Lab is full of industry experts who are passionate about what they build Private equity has provided a shield from concerns around tech bubble Main competition lacks full SDLC integration which lead to a high win rate Entry level positions offer quick career acceleration opportunities
Cons
Big discrepancy between Boston (HQ) and Lab (Austria + Poland) on what products value proposition is. This can be validated by the recent push to a "DPM" model as opposed to what customers/lab is developing for (improve SDLC) Although many positive changes were made once the company went private, many legacy senior managers still remain in place. These individuals are keeping certain aspects of the company of maturing, and have a track record of negatively impacting the organizations they lead No equity opportunity for top performers outside of a one time purchasing option that was riddled with issues and questions Compensation is towards the low to mid-level for similar organizations Performers appear to not be valued, failures appear to have no repercussions Only a handful of senior leadership is seen as beneficial to bring into client meetings Many questions exist on what the future makeup of the company is due to recent announcements of the converged product line
