Pros
- Generally open-minded and supportive colleagues - Breadth of tasks and topics to work on (if you can get in the right job) - Still recognized well in the market
Cons
- Management quality and ethics have seriously eroded in the last nine years - Company has lost its values - Employees are given neither means nor education to do an excellent job - Boasting in external communication, while paying only lip-service to quality and excellence internally - Culture of fear and pressure - you have never done enough and it is implied that failure is your personal fault - Lack of accountability for badly designed and negotiated contracts - instead pressure is put on delivery teams to "make it work", see also point above - Performance does not pay, as compensation model does not allow rewards for good and top performers anymore - Long-time top performers are severely underpaid compared to the market
