Been here a while ... seen ups and downs ... overall ok

Senior software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues. Great benefits. Good compensation. Decent work life balance. Some software projects are interesting. Lately they are improving how software projects are run. There has been some relaxing of the unending emphasis on Time-to-Market (i.e. deliver something asap) to actually taking the time to build something cool.

Cons

Old and proprietary technology. There is no way around this. The terminal is an artifact from the 80s ... with several paint jobs. But hey it works! There are some teams working on cool stuff but they are the exception rather than the norm. Management is rigid and there is quite some bit of politics. Not always a meritocracy - more like a favoritocracy. But that is a fact of life everywhere. Big brother atmosphere - where everything is monitored. Lately this has been improving.

Limited career growth and very little return for the time invested into your career

Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent benefits, better than any other corporate in South Africa if not the best - Flexible working hours, starting between 7-9am - Very very long term incentive plans - International travel once you enter the management structures - Willing to relocate to international offices if the need arises

Cons

- Global Data department is extremely limited, there are very few outs and even fewer growth opportunities within the department unless you choose management - Management is the only way to really grow in the company, with respect to compensation and career growth - Uncompetitive salary with minimal initial increases - Opaque compensation reviews (not negotiable) and peer performance reviews - No focus on growing employee skills and product knowledge peaks after six months - No form of mentorship whatsoever - Management are big-headed and unwilling to acknowledge failures or errors in judgement - Nepotism and self-preservation is far too common
