Pros
The San Diego office has a different culture and feel than most of Par's other offices. The San Diego team is mostly technical and somewhat has that startup feel. It's very dynamic and flexible, with never a dull moment. Great people and culture with a very cohesive environment. And, all of this under the umbrella of a larger company that's been around for 40 years and is publically traded.
Kontras
Par is definitely a company in transition. It's tried to shift from its past to a more modern, software company, but it struggles at times to be current and let go of the way of the past. Some of the leadership could be stronger, more strategic, more focused, and better connected with their teams. Culture at corporate and many remote offices needs improvement.
