Pros

- Work with really smart people who you can learn a lot from - Encounter challenging problems - Good stock variable compensation, if you are eligible

Cons

- Need more dedicated training time to learn the products instead of expecting consultants to do it in their free time. Also need better training material. - Sometimes work/life balance can be off - depends on the client and whether you are travelling

Pros

Good culture and growing company. Energetic and fun quarterly meetings!!

Cons

Several managers operate their department depending on their own personality traits. There is a known lack of professionalism on how they should motivate and train their employees. One manager consistently roams up and down the isles micro managing causing employee wagers on how often she will interrupt them daily. Another one would repeat confidential conversations with her subordinates for merely office gossip, causing tension within the workplace on how to respond/react. Drama galore!

Pros

- technical challenges - Many very talented staff - A lot of free software guys like yourself.

Cons

- No sales no good salary. - No sales little career path. - Average wages for technical staff. - Consulting, engineering and support are at the lower side of the chain. - Lots of unpaid overtime. As a consequence many of the very skilled people in europe who raise the company to the $1B have left demotivated and tired of it.
