Pros

Great people on the ground - hard working and dedicated. Good benefits in the UK. Company supplies free drinks including fizzy ones!

Cons

In some areas of the business (mostly IT and development) employees seem to be happy in their jobs, but it's sad to say that it's not the case in all areas. Main issues: - Ineffectual and arrogant middle and senior management. - Lack of communication. - Lack of listening. - Lack of respect for their staff's skills and knowledge. - Continuous and tiresome politics. - No promotion prospects. - Few payrises. - No training.

Pros

In theory, Micro Focus supports its employees. It has in place employee assistance, non-managerial promotion for engineers, adjustable pension deals, you name it.

Cons

In practice, this is a company which wastes its employees' time and gets rid of them almost on a whim. They can waste people's lives. The company wastes its own time too. Cliquish and stupid. So the apparent advantages are often theoretical. If I had my life again, this would be somewhere I would not go.

Pros

Salary & Benefits good. That's it..

Cons

No job security, not stability and no direction.. Constantly changing management and direction of business. Each start of fiscal year half the staff will be dismissed, sales will be going in a new direction and ill thought out plans will be put in place as a knee jerk reaction to bad sales the previous year, and the same will happen next fiscal year ultimate ground-hog day. It's all about who you know rather than what you know...
