Great people, Corporate Culture

Software configuration manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great engineering team. Every engineer/architect was of high quality. The software that is being developed is used in the hospitals and actually helps doctors and radiologies make better decisions about patients. Not a lot of over time, if you can manage your work in 40 hours per week.

Cons

Corporate culture. If you don't control your own career the management is not going to help you. Lots of red tape and bureaucracy, it takes forever to approve a decision, or if you need something done. Very small salary increases. No bonuses. No holiday parties either or any type of team building activities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good. Work is not too difficult, good people. Facilities are great.

Cons

Typical large corporate environment that has too many managers and very much a hierarchy. So many sites around US that seem to fight over control on key issues. This leads to some power struggles and many who don't have a good work/life balance. Challenging work. Room to grow if you put in the extra time at your desk if you desire that.

Big company atmosphere, not homogeneous, do your homework carefully!

Business Outlook

Pros

Close proximity to home. Very nice building & facilities. Close to Rt 93, easy to access

Cons

Very political, especially among middle managers. Personal advancement frequently not related to merit. Decisions often favor internal goals and needs, not customer needs. It is a European company so you have to get used to an autocratic management.
