Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Know everything about the company before going to the interview. They hardly ever like to hire people that have not had some experience with one of their product lines. Also shoot high when you negotiate your salary, because a raise maybe a long time in coming. They give sales more respect and money than all the other technology professionals and engineers. They will hire a car salesman with no education and pay him more and even promote him to VP if he can have at least one good year. Sales is definitely the best way to the top within this organization."

"Upper level management micro-manages employees. The upper level execs still have a 1960's way of managing people. This style will continue until the President retires, but he will most likely not retire until death."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop micro-managing and concentrate more on the big picture and what direction the technology is going. It took you guys forever to have a product with an open ended database on a windows platform. This should have happened years before it actually did and who knows how much market share the company lost while your engineers and developers were still holding on to the old stuff."
