Great company to work for - highly recommended

Senior application engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of exposure to customers from different industries and domains. Highly reputed company. Very structured. Lot of emphasis on training employees and on continuous learning. Strong corporate culture with a focus on core values. Privately owned so can focus on long-term goals and thus very stable.

Cons

The work environment can initially be perceived as inflexible to change by people who have worked in other, possibly faster-moving, companies.

Good company to work for... if you fit in

Business Outlook

Pros

Very comfortable material conditions, generous salaries and bonuses, overall great products, good variety of work.

Cons

Very poor middle management and management practises, what does on behind closed doors is very different from what they claim their values are. Reviews are based on what you manager thinks of you rather than actual accomplishments, and advancement is based on who you're friends with rather than merit. If your manager doesn't like you or you're not friends with the right people, they will quickly strip you of any interesting work, bonuses and it's a downwards spiral until they push you out of the door.
