Pros

The company is a market leader in its area: Contact Centre software. Sales and other "profit centre" compensation is quite good. The product is strong, engineering people are great. UK Office is central for EMEA (for now, at least). New building will be finished in 2010.

Cons

With latest crisis and integration with Alcatel-Lucent, "Cost centre" compensation is often at the bottom level of "Position in Range".

Pros

Category and technology leader provides certain clout in the space. Culture is good for entrepreneur types and thus allows for good flexibility and autonomy. Compensation is competitive.

Cons

The organizational structure (or lack thereof) can be both confusing and counterproductive. Long-term direction isn't well communicated or understood (maybe nobody really knows?) Some organizations have redundant goals and objectives that seem like "empire-building." Can be a very political place to work--seen lots of back-stabbing and finger pointing to get ahead. Senior Management (VP & above) have very little turnover, so little influx of new ideas. Fairly limited upward mobility for individual contributors. Many people stay at the same level for years and leave for a title promotion. Much of the above could be due to the uncertaintuy of the ALU integration plan. Alcatel is going to take this thing over in a big way, if it hasn't already. It will not be the same moving forward (may be a pro to some?).
