Pros

The people are the best thing of this company even though they should be more recognised for it. Nice benefits (sport, meal vouchers, adaptable working hours, working from home possibility, company car)

Cons

It's like the management doesn't know in which direction to go anymore. We keep on changing the focus and on reorganising and we, as employees, don't have a say about it. Some operational functions decrease in quality since move to low cost locations. No raise possibility, if you want a raise you need to change jobs, which not only means no one is recognised for improving himself in his job anymore, but it also mean we're losing talented and skilled people in some roles just because they had to change role (therefore often team) to get a promotion. Too many politics. No more real recognition of the work done by employees. Work in silos across departments which ends up in a company that doesn't give itself the means to realise its ambitions

Pros

Nice offices. Great colleagues. Interesting work. Truly great healthcare International travel

Cons

Poor senior management and too many middle managers Terrible performance management approach related to who you know not what you do. Good engineers are leaving because there are no promotions and the pay has fallen far behind other companies
