Pros

Office facilities are decent Top engineers and Managers get Macbook. Few real good top long time, engineering leaders based out of US and Germany.

Cons

Company has only one major product that generates revenues. But this revenue is not getting any better. Founder sold the company to VCs and they are looking at an exit. Senior Management is based out of US and all engineering functions are done from chennai in India. The main product has 15year old code base with 3rd generation outdated technologies like Struts 1.0. The product has serious memory and deployment issues that every customer faces. Many attempts have been made to revamp the codebase, but nothing is fruitful so far. The company has a larger percent of mediocre engineers and quality analysts. Employees dont do any work in the name of work from home. Senior management in US is inefficient with no understanding of the product. The company is run as a backoffice to maintain the dying product.

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.
