      The good old days have come to an end but it still ranks up there in relation to Tech support in other companies

      Technical support engineer

      Pros

      Great career opportunities if you work hard and push your profile. Company and Tech Supp growing fast. Plenty of training available and some opportunity to travel. Great benefits (paid VHI, life assurance & holidays with excellent employer pension contribution, etc..)

      Cons

      Has become very transactional and is now a call center where the issues we see are getting more and more technical. Workload is high and the office can be very stressful at times. Working late is often required just to stay on top of things.

      A pit of politics, preferential treatment, poor management, and out-of-control egos

      Senior technical writer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting technology. A decent cafeteria (and nice cafe staff)

      Cons

      Loaded with barely competent front-line staff. You know the type... All "CYA" and no real effort. Many incompetents promoted to mid-level management. You know how... Connections. Upper management that pits team against team. You know the type... Ballmer acolytes. Too many folks too scared of keeping their cushy position to be genuine.

      Used to be a great place to work

      Senior manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great engineers, a lot of smart and very talented people - Open communication at engineer levels - Interesting and challenge projects, sense of as part of a big thing - Feeling of a community

      Cons

      - Politics all around, especially at senior management levels. - Too much chaos at Sr. Director to VP level, causing lack of stability to build long term plan/roadmap. - Fairness in performance evaluation and promotion. - Brand new senior leadership not trusting front line managers and engineers.
