Not bad at all, but internal politics kills motivation and drive, and internal processes sometimes truly frustrating

Sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place with offices and opportunities truly global/worldwide Colleagues/peers are the best in the business A fair amount of freedom if you happen to end up under a good and trusting manager Solid products - due to long development times Large and stable customers - providing stability if the organization is successful in secruing new business

Cons

Internal politics and a small "favored" gang can really hinder the motivation and drive out among the masses. Internal IT systems a disgrace for a technology company Less and less regard for senior knowledge. Company is actively pushing out (even very skilled) people when they are getting into their 40s.

Pros

Very organized, skilled and considerate managers. Company training is excellent and probably the best worldwide. Very good opportunities to expand your technical knowledge and skill (if you desire). Opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of technology. Exciting environment.

Cons

You are just a speck in the grain sack. Some employees do not take responsibility
