Pros

The companies pay is moderately in-line with other privately held companies. Unfortunately at the rate the company is sinking it is difficult to find many Pros. It may be possible to luck out and get some shares of the company when they are sold off, which is inevitable at this point. If you are a Junior level Software Engineer and don't mind living in Sebastian, FL this could be a nice place to work for a year or two. Don't expect to make a Career out of the company and you won't be disappointed or surprised when you are laid off due to a missed sale. The company offers access to numerous technologies ranging from SNMP, TL1 to Java and Service Buses.

Cons

* Only interested in getting as much money from customers before they realize the product doesn't work. This is the key focus on the Sales and Business team. Keep this in mind when your tasks are assigned. * If you don't tow the company line and pretend the product is the best product in the market you will be let go and seen as "not a team player." Constructive criticism of the product, marketing strategy and the like is NOT tolerated. * Only interested in hiring junior level engineers with the hopes they can fix enough bugs to make a sell. (Read: Low paid salary) * Headquarters is located in the middle of no where which is unfortunate as Melbourne, FL would have been a much better spot considering all of the Government and Space Coast talent. * Expected to give up your life in order to bail out the Sales team when they promise features that don't exist * Expected to give up your life in order to bail out the Business team when the Customer threatens to sue due to the product not working.

Pros

The best part about working here was the initial growth opportunities that were presented during the creation of the new company in 2010. Unfortunately, it became quickly apparent that the opportunities only existed if you were part of the "club" or if you were willing to give up all semblance of a life by being willing to work and travel at a moment notice without any compensation, either financial or in the form of banked time off. Because of the companies financial situation, existing benefits were cut and the focus of upper management completely shifted to getting today's dollar no matter what the cost to the company reputation or loss of future business potential.

Cons

Company was spun off from a larger company as a private company by a group of investors in 2010 with hopes of a turn around in previous business trends. The new management wasted the opportunity presented to them by continuing poor the poor business practices that caused the previous company to shed them. There have been large annual layoffs every year since 2012 with most of the senior and more experienced (i.e higher paid) employees having been let go. The company has done poorly at attracting new customers and is reliant upon a shrinking existing customer base for new revenue.
