Pros

Nice People, Innovative Product, Neat Technology, Great R&D foundation. Great place to learn leading edge technology if you are in the R&D space.

Cons

Too many to list: (in the non R&D Depts) Highlights: Inexperience management team in various support depts. due to promotions based on nepotism instead of experience. Roadmap for the past two years is a moving target due to lack of strategic planning. Projects stopped halfway to be replace by more important projects. This is expensive and caused confusion. No accountability on results and ROI. Incoherent and un-scalable business solutions developed due to lack of experience. Resistant to change due to fear of loss of territory and loss of power without consideration on impact to the company.

Pros

Friendly attitude. Colleagues that share my interests and my way of life, being also highest-rank pros. Nice office (at least, in Moscow). Very competitive compensation.

Cons

Working in an international company often means day-long delays in answering everyday e-mails due to time gap between different locations.

Pros

I was a patient myself and to this date swear by the product as I would have never worn traditional braces. Some great learning opportunities and growth potential within the Company, at least when I was working there. It's not the same anymore from what I hear from colleages still working there, most of whom have already left. Very international working environment. Salary was fair/competitive. Bonuses were available though not always fair. Pension plan was generous.

Cons

Had it not been for the nepotism going on in the European HQ and the hiring of completely unqualified people (many of whom are now gone or have been "relocated") I might stil be there. If you were asked to attend work related events at the weekend, the "policy" was that it was considered normal work for which you are not compensated. I had to fight several times to get time-for-time. Training? What's that? Aside from the training that I required for my actual job position, this never really happened. Lots of hot air meetings but nothing that really benefitted the average Joe in the company. When I started the atmosphere at the Amsterdam office was great. We felt like a family. Everyone was very helpful and supportive. Then corporate greed set in, followed by a decentralisation of the support teams. Company is far too American centric. They still think they are the centre of the universe and are only now opening to the idea that perhaps the European business model is different--not to mention the laws.
