Pros

The technologies were very interesting as well as working globally with teams in Sweden and France. The company culture was family oriented and it certainly would never be considered a sweat shop.

Cons

Maybe because the culture was so layed back it seemed to be acceptable if deadlines were not met. Much of the management seems to be promoted from within and seem to lack some real world experience and in many cases seemed to be promoted for the commitment to the company rather than on their management ability.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
