Mid (Life) Size Crisis

Business Outlook

Pros

Security is a good industry to be in. Made some nice acquisitions. Great PE. A sincere CEO.

Cons

Company is getting confused. Doesn't know what to do and where to go next. Couldn't leverage great acquisitions like Utimaco and Astaro. Unable to get the strategy and execution right. Too much talks and very less focussed action. Losing good people and carrying too much baggage for the size of company it is. Not able to capitalize the opportunity to grow fast.

It might be time to head for the lifeboats

Pros

Due to better days, there are still a lot of good people there to work with. Even new hires (when hiring isn't frozen, which is rare) are good - people care a lot about making sure they pick good people. There's still a strong culture of caring about doing what's best for the customer.

Cons

Constant context-switching as more and more new projects are launched before others are finished. Increasing lack of autonomy for each department as upper management seems to panic about falling revenues - every little decision has more time/effort spent on it than it would take to do it, realize you did it wrong, and fix it.

So much potential, simply disappointing

Pros

smart people abound. This is a continually changing place to work - new challenges are guaranteed. Stable financially, very pleasant office, open culture from most perspectives.

Cons

No advancement internally past the glass ceiling. Chaotic processes. Poor salary increases, entirely divorced from performance review. Arcane budgeting practices leading to distorted behaviour to work around meaningless restrictions. Self-defeating focus on hitting the dates for a project regardless of the quality of the outcome married to an inability to go back and finish anything.
