Very Male driven culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Pace of change. The company talks about transformation - with the provision of it's innovative solutions. Some opportunities in marketing to build the face of this change and to build the awareness of this well respected brand. Some great products and serves some of the worlds biggest brands. Some good people in the organization, but also very male driven environment.

Cons

No on-boarding that is useful on any of the systems or products. You are expected to know pretty much immediately about all the products, people and operate in a sink or swim type environment. Lots of back-stabbing, people aren't very nice to people in general (not in all cases) but that is caused by how they are treated by the higher ups. Women are not promoted very often. Company brings in Sr Male Directors more often than promoting a Female Senior Manager.

Political, Leader decision-making lacks direction

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company - compensation is less than some competitors - but large product mix through many many acquisitions.

Cons

Many leaders get their roles for political reasons and not merit. Large scale mass layoffs followed by a ton of hiring of new employees. No clear direction from senior leadership. Culture is old and stodgy.

Pros

Good salary, bonus, working flexibility, work life balance good to certain extend if not fully balanced. Pros general varies project to project and business unit to business unit.

Cons

In my case the work mostly on the maintenance and support side. Me being in RnD not getting complete job satisfaction due to false profile not justifying my skill set. Being developer have to take lots of customer calls and WebEx es as support is not at all knowledgeable.... This puts pressure on developers. We mostly endup indulging ourselves in Customer support rather doing some optimization or features development in the product. No onsite or short term onsite opportunity. Team politics is so much in certain projects because of the monopoly created by seniors team memeber.... 10 yrs same project.... These people just does not allow new comers to groom...they just boycott new comers in every way..be it knowledge share or be it socially involvement. Upper management looks perfectly OK with this as they do not take any corrective actions.
