A company run by accountants. It is unlikely that there will be long term success as eventually the game will be up.

Pros

Many good products. Mature, with extensive systems and resources.

Cons

Highly bureaucratic. Terrible culture. Some managers, especially in sales, are undiagnosed psychopaths.

For prospects, Terracotta no longer exists - read Software AG reviews instead.

Business Outlook

Pros

Recent reviews are likely confusing to folks. Terracotta no longer exists as separate entity. You'll get a better sense of things by reading Software AG reviews. The "pros" at this point would be working 9-5 at a big company collecting a paycheck.

Cons

All the cons of a typical big company. E.g. rampant mediocrity, no direction, etc. But perfectly fine if you just want to go on cruise control.

Great products, terrible management, declining marketshare

Pros

SAG has acquired some excellent industry leading products

Cons

Some (not all) sales management should be replaced with individuals who have skills in sales.
