Pros

use for recognition on resume

Cons

Women are not allowed to fulfill real technical roles and all efforts are put in to push to non-technical positions, such as marketing. Thousands of formal complaints of harassment and discrimination get ignored, even when brought to the attention of CEO and upper management.

Toxic place to work

Pros

Nice Building to work in.

Cons

This is the most toxic environment i have ever had the pleasure to work in. every one works in Silos , its the most unfriendly environment, with people happy to bully others to look better, no support from management just a fake pretense to seem to be on board with supporting a zero Tolerance on bullying joke . Full of fake people who sit on the back of others to get ahead. Worst place i have ever worked ...

Pros

Lots of resources to learn and progress in your professional career. Lots of projects which that allow virtually anyone to find something that the like to do.

Cons

The D365 for Marketing organization is run like a startup. High level managers openly embrace it and say that it is a good thing that we are driven by urgency. Work life balance is bad in many levels. Starting from having calls after your EOD with your US buddies, to having to work at night or weekends as this is what everybody else does. This means that if you do not do it you are seen as an underperformer. There is virtually no time for formal training. Even though management gives the official message that it is encouraged, in the day-to-day pressure to deliver tasks is so high that telling your manager that you want to do a soft-skills training would sound like a joke and you would be seen as an irresponsible person. This is evident when you are told "Please feel free to do the training, just bear in mind that you are a Senior Engineer and we have lots of work to do". And the worst sadly, is that these situations are not specific to any particular time (e.g. before a product release), but they sustain in time. It is very usual to hear people complaining about the same off the record.
