Pros

They care about their people. They do what's right with their customers. They have one of the best accounting packages for SMB in the world. Extremely strong in the not-for-profit sector. Very good benefits and good pay for sales.

Cons

Moving beyond accounting usually requires adding 3rd party solutions. Not the most nimble company - changes take time. Product centric vs sales centric.

Pros

The only pro I can think of is flexible working hours i.e., you don't have to be in the office from 9am till 5pm, you can start work at 10am for example.

Cons

- Below market rate compensation and benefits. - 3 days in the office isn't necessarily bad for everyone, but they track the IP address of your laptop, which shows they don't trust employees. - If the office is too far away or you are physically disabled, you are still forced to come into the office 3 days a week. Also, don't apply if you are a parent or have caring duties, they are not flexible about this working policy at all. - Their SaaS apps are to expensive to run, so instead of implementing effective cost savings, they make engineers redundant or carry out constructive/strategic dismissal via multiple Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs). With the constructive/strategic dismissals , of course they will pretend that they tried to give you a chance to improve with the PIP(s), but there was always intention to dismiss you - very cowardly if you ask me.
