Pros

Strong benefits package and a four-day work week. During my time here, it was a great place to build a strong start of an early career. I don't know if that is still the case; I feel like it won't be, at least not to the level it was for myself. Also, during my time there, the people were fantastic! But, with the new management I also feel that the culture is changing. Not so much to a bad one but more like plain yogurt. It's not bad but you wish it wasn't so milquetoast and had some sort of spice to it. The remnants of the old culture are there but are dwindling due attrition. TL;DR If a job is just a job for you, PDQ is going to be awesome. The benefits package is fantastic here! Compensation isn't so strong but that might be okay for you.

Kontras

The expertise is gone; the teams that build PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory are gone, everyone working on them now is new and does not have industry experience with system administration. It's the blind leading the blind. The recent acquisition of SmartDeploy and SimpleMDM feel aimless, without any goal aside from the thrill of acquisition. I hope the teams who were acquired got some sort of golden handcuffs otherwise I hope they move on. About a year ago there were mass layoffs that I see as a massive brain drain of PDQ talent, lots of industry expertise was let go and nothing has been done so far to compensate to that. To be clear, people have been hired but no one with expertise in the target market. I fear that the new management has taken the replaceable cogs mentality: a developer is a developer is a developer and their background knowledge of the target market is unimportant. Many of those on the engineering side have never dealt with system administration before and their efforts so far reveal that plainly. TL;DR In my opinion PDQ is a company that has no plans for the future and no spark of creativity to contribute to the industry. The company is an investment vehicle for TA Associates that offers really great benefits. They're unknowingly coasting off previous efforts and that really sucks, PDQ used to be something special.
