Pros

- Great flexibility - Low stress - Good place to get a foot in the door as a junior - Great benefits, personally enjoy the home office setup a lot

Cons

- It seems that experiences across business units varies heavily. For example, many reviews here mention competitive salary and highly skilled colleagues. My business unit's business model however is rapidly hiring novies at low salaries and selling them at high rates. There are almost no seniors who these juniors can learn from, and so project quality is what it is. From a business perspective it seems good because on a surface level, the deliveries "work", but it is like a house of cards that might collapse at any moment. - Your initial salary will determine everything, because raises are hard-capped from highest management. On one hand people who join at a similar level will have similar salary progression (equal treatment), but performance is not rewarded.

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)
