A Spoiled Company

Pros

Dynamic, interesting and complex work, multinational environment. Unique customer reach.

Cons

Very "Top-heavy" - too much VPs, Directors and Senior Managers. Too spoiled by the good margins and practically unable to drive change. Not that there are no changes, just the opposite - but they are shallow and doesn't position the company for the future. Spending a lot of money for acquisitions and new fancy ideas that after that simply fail and are folded down. Hiring easy, firing even easier - and this doesn't create a feeling for security and possibility for career development.

Pros

The company provides good compensation, health and other benefits. The place has casual dress up with flexible work place so you have a proper work life balance. There are certainly a lot of talented good people.

Cons

The company is going through frequent reorganizations creating unnecessary anxiety and low morale. The company hasn't been good about employee career growth. There's very little investment into employee development (for skills and career growth). Company lacks solid vision and goal. management is poor. Little or no investment in technology.
