Pros

There are still some good engineers left at the company.

Cons

The new CEO has moved the company from the cloud back to local data centers and has moved the company from a software company to a services company.

Thank you for your opinions. But please refrain from stating our Company's recognition by "Built in Chicago" and "GlassDoor" as a "best place to work" for three years running is somehow "gamed". That is insulting to every individual working hard and diligently at SilkRoad to serve our clients in new and better ways, while holding each other accountable to a high-performance culture. Innovative change and improvement are hard to achieve...and our people are doing that and being recognized for their efforts. Please don't diminish it with libelous and scurrilous comments, which also implies Built in Chicago and GlassDoor are unethically run. Best of luck with your career and I hope you find a long-term fit for your skills and desires.
