Pros

None anymore. Prior to the PE acquisition, the 6 original independent companies were extremely well run, employees were happy, owners were profitable. Then the sharks entered the pool, slashed headcount by 40% across each of the independent companies, leaving each entity EXTREMELY short-staffed and demoralized. The executive leadership team thinks on-demand talent is the answer. Unfortunately they don't understand the businesses, their customers, or the software packages they acquired. ODT cannot replace years and years of industry specific knowledge, which they are learning the hard way, at the expense of their customers and the few original employees who tried to stick it out and make it work.

Cons

Understaffed, overworked. Management has a playbook, and can not deviate from the playbook. Their only concern as a 'company' is to double and double again. This is primarily done through additional acquisitions and raising maintenance prices on their customers (some received 2 increases in less than a year). If you ever wonder why employees hate PE backed firms, it's because of the extreme corporate greed. This is a textbook 'pump and dump'.

Pros

They provide good work, life balance with flexibility lots of internal training tools. I’m working with a good team of people.

Cons

Because they are private equity back and constantly acquiring new companies, they do have lots of re-organizational structure each year and lots of changes happen so if you’re not able to adapt and roll with the punches, it can be difficult
