Overall it's not so bad

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Creative thinkers challenge one another to strive for not "good enough" solutions for client, but rather a real range of options. High level of caring between employees. Word hard/play hard. Always striving to improve service. High focus on career success.

Cons

Sometimes struggles to hire enough people with the right skills, so people are often overloaded. That is ok for the short-term but not great in the long term.

Too much political distraction

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefit package with generous vacation time (4 weeks - inherited the French). Good bonus amount in place of lower than average salary. There're some real talented people working here.

Cons

Lots of politcal games. Despite being in the business for a long time, their software department was never matured nor organized. They focus a lot of on empty processes. Directors were being rotated constantly. The current one is really bad and caused a lot of people leaving. Abusive management never got let go. There's also a constant struggle between local software group and the counterpart from parent company in France.
