Mostly positive. Lack of vertical movement

Senior sales engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally good company to work for. Pressure is not put down too heavy on employees. colleague support is excellent.

Cons

Lack of vertical movement. Lack of incentives to stay for good employees due to relatively low wage packages for the job type. Bonus can sometimes more often than not be unreachable due to company shareholder needs and growth requirements hurting the pockets of the lower workforce. You would be lucky to get over 50% in a year.

Pros

Great culture and team spirit. high diversity many inspirational and motivational people

Cons

The pay is relatively lower than the pay of other competition. Also, the company claims to have work flexibility in hours/working from home but in reality it does not. Most importantly, the development of employees and the company's investment in them is non-existent compared to other companies
