Pros

Work can be interesting (if you are on those projects) Salaries are OK. Benefits are good - but they have been getting worse over the last few years (changing us vacation policy mid year was a total disaster) Plenty of experience in remote work.

Cons

Multiple years of layoffs Total disconnect between management and reality Seems to enjoy adding onto and changing process so nobody really knows what they are supposed to do and thus nothing actually seems to get done Totally unclear what Pamplona are really trying to accomplish. They overpaid for the company and seem to be struggling to find any sort of coherent strategy to get a return on their investment. Constant tension between Geographic areas. Lots of PowerPoint jockeys - there are only so many vaporous management school BS slide decks I can read in a day -

Pros

Salary is not low. But only if you just jumped into this company, not working for years. You can learn a lot fast. Good for new in carrier.

Cons

Almost no raising salary, no bonuses, no holidays parties, no team meetings, no wise management. You can’t be sure if you won’t be fired tomorrow, especially if you are not young or have high salary. You will hear only critics and maybe experience tough micro management. Promoting in average in 5 years.
