Great place to start if you like fast paced environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Since the products that the teams develop are entirely client/customer based, you will be involved in the entire software development life cycle process. Teams are switching over to new technology (that's a very good sign). The entire company is transparent. You know what different teams are working on and the developers are easy to approach to.

Cons

Even though, the company has great volunteering program, there are not much employee networking events. Need a better software rollout process.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunity to meet and sell with other like minded colleagues. Opportunities to grow vertically are always available but takes time to jump roles. In the end, was offered a job which I held for two years

Cons

The pay isn't great and has a low morale after competing products offer cheaper solutions. I worked on a travel team and expected better compensation which never arrived.
