Once great company, too much M&A / offshoring

Software developer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, salary, if you can keep them. Used to be engineering/design centric like Apple, suffered under invasion of the MBAs.

Cons

M&As, offshoring. When I left it was more like Microsoft: Even marketing flying coach, bulk of dev offshored to Eastern Europe, China or India. Bureaucracy.

Tough support environment for individual support engineers

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, good learning and development opportunities. Individuals can gain really good experience if you are strong enough to survive.

Cons

Burn-out of individual support engineers, unending stress, lack of ability to focus, sink-or-swim environment. Upside-down worker to management ratio. Not great communications or direction from senior management. Upper levels of management out of touch with reality of support delivery demands on individuals, especially in the Strategic Account Services program.
