Pros

- Great colleagues who are enthusiastic about their work - Great benefits (healthcare, dental, culture vouchers) - Flexible hours For me Digia has proven to be a flexible employer which takes into account different stages of life. I was on a verge of a burn out due to personal issues, and received support and help both from my superior as well as from HR. Digia's occupational health care made it possible to get professional help quick.

Cons

- Slowness in decision making & sometimes heavy bureaucracy As Digia is fairly big company and is listed in stock, that brings some stiffness along. With time you get used to it and know when you can press against and when its just better to let it go. I don't expect Digia to me as agile as smaller companies, but some stretching might do some good.

Pros

Excellent 401k matching (if you stick around long enough for it to vest) Employer-paid benefits Work with a highly regarded application framework (Qt)

Cons

Crappy work-life balance benefits, very uneven (EU gets 5 weeks of time off, USA gets 2 weeks) Not a team-oriented environment. USA (sales) vs EU (engineering) Sucky IT policies (bordering on paranoid) Cheap on salary. Big split in corporate culture: open vs closed source. Business mission flawed. Work office was often empty, very little team cohesion, lots of passive-aggressive behavior by management and colleagues. Outsourced HR and IT

Pros

5 weeks of vacation (European company benefits) Good medical insurance options Great product

Cons

clueless managers too much politics and high school-clique culture Too much Estrogen in the air No real mission or clear business objectives and long term vision Free product is so good few customers wants to pay for the supported version (like trying to sell extended warranty to Honda owners)
