Pros

Flexible employer, allows remote work and flexible scheduling. Family-friendly. There are some very good people, just not enough to outweigh the high-school like atmosphere of infighting, back-biting and general development apathy.

Cons

Tech stack is outdated and arcane. Project definitions and deliverables are subject to the whims of upwardly mobile middle management. There is no definitive direction for new development, or to make necessary improvements to the existing system. Cliquishness among departments and managers competing for favor means your project will likely change direction and focus multiple times - even up until the deadline (which, once set, never gets adjusted to compensate for the lack of design definition, clear focus, and dedicated development resources.)

Pros

-Coworkers are great. -Training is good. -Customers are usually ok to work with.

Cons

Summary: As a PSS, you'll be expected to support several different products, many of which you will not touch often. It's difficult to be an expert covering so many products and features. They change and update features often, which is both good and bad for customers, but also makes it much more difficult for PSS. You handle really sensitive information (M&A), but are expected to assist multiple customers at once - this is a huge risk. Additional cons: -They implemented a AI agent and then fired several great employees, then increased the rest of the staffs expected workload. -They change ways of working often. -The knowledge base is often out of date. -There's almost always a backlog, but the clients work can be "urgent" - making some clients upset on wait time.
