Pros

Good products Fair benefits Smart people Good job with acquiring talent Depending on division--flexible schedule Great location People seem to make the best out of situation

Cons

Employees are not empowered Poor managers Very little communication from HQ or mgmt in NA Company's policies are not employee friendly--ex. trying to get reimbursed for expenses is laborious and takes too long to get your money - extremely frustrating when you travel frequently Very little automation HR un-effective -no programs /non revenue generating employees unappreciated (low salaries) Risk adverse All items above can be rectified if senior management would focus a bit on their employees than profits.

Software AG is a good place to work.

Pros

Software AG is a stable place to work and continues to grow year over year. The leadership is solid though very far away in Germany.

Cons

Very much a top down approach to management that is then carried forward through the ranks. Although there is a leadership team in the US, all decisions are made from Germany making executives inaccessible. Culturally, it is a very conservative company.

Old School Software Company Lost in Progressive Internet Age

Pros

Some decent technology, such as the integration technologies from the webMethods acquisition and the acquisition of IDS Scheer. Good benefits package, and Software AG kicks in for 401K which isn't as common as you might think in tech.

Cons

SoftwareAG is legendary for being slow moving, and believing the world is the way they see it. Seriously in need of some market leading (rather than market following) technology leadership, rather than Ivory Tower academics. Other companies are inventing the future, Software AG is often distantly following.
