management treats employees with little respect

Pros

Only if you are passionate with database core technology and you got an offer for such works.

Cons

No respect. Engineers must work very hard to get a "so-so" rating. Managers like to micro-manage all things. Want your daily report. Check your arrival time in the morning and expect you to go home late and then attend meetings at nights, even mid-nights. Managers are hired through a process that don't really ask for tech skills/knowledge, but then act as the tech lead and show no respect to engineers. Engineers are all good and other employers keep coming to hire from Sybase employees.

Poor culture and work-life balance

Engineering director

Business Outlook

Pros

The salaries at Sybase are fair, there are opportunities to advance, and there were opportunities to work on leading-edge technologies. If you worked in a remote office (from the Dublin headquarters), there was a good chance the work culture to be much better.

Cons

Sybase has a poor work-life balance. Many managers expect you to work very long hours, and working those long hours is what they valued most. It didn't matter how well you did your job or whether you got your job done, if you worked long hours and were a "yes man", then that endeared you to many. Vacation was a max of 3 weeks per year regardless how many years of service, which is unheard of in the high-tech software business.

Pros

The worst place I've ever worked, very poor company culture, management people always expect more than human being can handle. Need to fight very hard for promotions.

Cons

There are a lot chances for people needs more challenges, always a lot work to do.
