      Pros

      At the lower level, there are a good bunch of people there.

      Cons

      Senior management pigeonholes everyone, and treats them as cogs.

      Has been a great place to work but beware of the future

      Pros

      The "virtual" aspect of many of the job functions. The balance between work and homelife is managed very well in that we are mostly treated as professionals and management knows we'll get the work done. Perhaps not between the hours of 9-5, but it will get done. This, hoiwever, does have a downside in that we are expected to work weekends and evenings during crunch time if necessary. The flip side of those situations allow for downtime when a project is not under a crunch situation. So again, the balance is there and I'm more than happy with the resulting work environment.

      Cons

      The sales environment....i.e. a quarter by quarter mentality with many decisions being made with short term thinking. Also I'd have to say another downside is the lack of focus of sales management with respect to new accounts. I've seen multiple sales reps get burned out over many years continually trying to break into an account. How many times can you bang your head against the wall before you say I've bled enough? I think there is an arrogance (bordering on insane) when it comes to the desire to land a new account. If anyone ever did the math on what was spent in the attempt to get these accounts to buy, we'd quickly move on to other, more realistic sales opportunities.

      Sadly inadequate senior leadership

      Pros

      Virtual office provides flexibility. Few layers of between employees and leadership..which is a double-edged sword. Compensation is pretty good, although not necessarily aligned with value or productivity.

      Cons

      The culture and leadership of the company remains "old NCR" and focused on short-term profitability...while the company needs strategic direction and growth. Poor internal management development. Poor understanding / support for new salespeople to close deals in a "green field." The company hires people with industry experience...and then doesn't listen to them. Many leave frustrated.
