A glorified service company

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great work life balance. Strictly work between 10 to 6 and leave home. - Europe Travel to meet colleagues in France couple of times in a year. But this is also coming to a stop this year. - Ability to change across projects every 2 years. You can even change your business area. Tech people can get into business, business people can get into tech. But that also kind of dilutes performance a lot.

Cons

- Service Company mindset - Speakup culture is glorified too much. People who speak are given more importance than people who do the real engineering work. - Low performing people are a real pain in the butt, as you have to deal with them on a daily basis. Especially in my case, these low performing people are business analysts, which made it very difficult to get business contexts while working on the application. - Manager is rude to almost all people who don't speak up or speak up less when compared to other people. - Below average company if you are a person driven by high engineering standards.

Pros

> Genuinely interesting product > Globally known company with valued name > Generally good job security, a job for life if you want it > Decent training and learning opportunities available if you push for them

Cons

> Archaic management structure that's too command and control orientated. Doesn't trust employees enough to give them the freedom to innovate, and unintentionally blocks improvements and ideas in the process. > Bordeline aggressive and bullying environment at times. Employees in, or on the verge of tears, after getting relentlessly grilled infront of everyone was not at all uncommon sight. Often the people involved had little to no blame in these cases, but were more of a convienient way to make example of a more systematic underlying cultural problem. > Warring departments, that are too busy trying to trip each other up, and point fingers at each other, rather than work together. It happens more at the management level, but trickles down into aversarial teams. > Extremely conservative and risk averse, which is understandable given the product, but is applied in the wrong ways, and in the wrong places. Ironically, it tends to increase risk, by shutting down the mechanisims that could be developed to reduce it > A mess of buisness processes and proceedures built in isolation, or are no longer fit for purpose. Generally overprocessing yet under optimizing, at all business levels > Relatively low pay for the sector
