Pros

Plenty of flexibility. Great vacation package. Great stock options. Plenty of free food.

Cons

Many cliques in the office. Very little direction from management, almost no training. Management does not make it clear what the expectations are and frequently change them on a dime. Stingy with raises.

Pros

- Good basic salary compared to other similar jobs in the market - no requirements for extended hours or overtime - Great team of people

Cons

- no incentives to over-perform - Annual reviews have no reflection on your performance for the past year. - zero incentives to work weekends and public holidays to cover illness, shortages or shifts. - Low yearly bonus -> RSU's which vest over 4 years but the actual amount of RSU's awarded equate to a extremely small percentage bonus compared to year base salary. - Lower level management have no idea how to actually manage, support and develop their staff - Management perform no consultation and discussion with engineers in basic team related decisions. - Senior management and directors have a delusional view of running a support organization with no structure in terms of L2 and L3 support staff. All Escalation Engineers perform a L2 and L3 function in a flat structure. - Politics seems to be the only method to be promoted rather then hard work and performing above and beyond. - No improvement in basic pay or conditions when promoted to Senior Escalation Engineer vs a regular Escalation Engineer
