Wonderful Environment

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A very caring and loving environment with the freedom to innovate and take risks. You need to be able to work independently and in a fast-paced environment, but if you can do this, you will have great success and a lot of fun.

Cons

Free gelato in the snack room and provided hot breakfasts can be really hard to avoid and so I would suggest getting a gym membership.

Success built on fear

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a strong ethic in terms of delivering a best-in-class product its customers need and want, and I found it an insightful experience to be immersed that culture, and pick up valuable skills. Its global client reach is amazing and its a great place to build networks. The salary and benefits are very competitive.

Cons

The company likes to present itself as being innovative but it actually handles innovation and entrepreneurship very badly. There is a hierarchical top down management structure based on fear, and managers tend to be selected according to their ability to bully large teams. In many markets it builds a lock on its customers and some of them resent that.

Takes some getting used to, but worth it in the end

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a real meritocracy where your hard work will translate into opportunity. The company is financially and structurally stable, so you aren't distracted by quarterly shareholder meetings and pointless reorganizations.

Cons

Many in the management hierarchy have never worked elsewhere in tech; this leads to a bit of one-dimensional outlook on how things should be done, how employees should be treated and how they should behave. Also, there is a tendency to under-react to accomplishments and over-react to mistakes.
