Pros

- Good Work-Life balance - Good Employees

Cons

- You won't learn anything new. Worst place to Learn - No innovation at all, you'll become dormant after few months even if you're an IITian - Lack of motivation and appreciation. Lots of disappointments. - It's a legacy product and you'll end-up with working on 10-year old technologies. So, you lose your market value - Chennai office is just a backoffice, you'll not getting any interesting work. Most of the interesting works & decisions are made by few people in US. You'll be commanded to do 'copy & paste' work without asking any questions - Poor Engg Management - Poor Domain knowledge - Poor Office Infrastructure - Driven by blind PO's & DO - No proper product roadmap - No travel opportunities (0%) for engineers. Travel is allowed only for high-level management people. - You will be tortured by management (Engg), if you put down your paper - Process centric and not people centric. Even HR doesn't know most of the employees name or team (very small-sized company) and about the company's product (actually they don't care about it) - You're not allowed grow in your career, since all the appreciations/promotions are goes only to the corresponding manager/director. Typically, they will try to hide your visibility as much as possible - Too much of Hierarchy - Most of the employees are not satisfied about their work - All big giants are already left the company because of the above reasons

Pros

Established Brand. Long Term Management. referenceable accounts in every major industry. Excellent Sales with field pros in every major region and state in the U.S. and Internationally. recent infusion of cash from VC takeover adding confidence in the future of the People/Organization/Brand. Leading the Scalable and Cloud based Agile/Open Source ALM Platform. Small enough to react to clients needs. large enough to satisfy Enterprise product integration and support. generous commission plans for sales. A top notch independent recruiter to work with whom has 15 years in Enterprise ALM career consulting experience.

Cons

Not as aggressive getting support personnel on the street as it is now being grown more conservatively by the parent company. Changing Industry causes confusion in the market with Billion dollar companies professing quick deployments and short product release times when in fact their tools are inferior. Consequently, the Open Source ALM industry is just now starting to come out of a slower adoption cycle which saw sales cycle get longer and requires several pilot programs rather than trigger widespread company adoption of products from those Billion dollar companies that offer a simple plug-in suite module rather than a platform based approach as Collabnet does.
