Pros

Good training programs, stable job, get to work with big clients, pension is decent. Overall mission of the company is a plus.

Cons

Micro management is rife and promotions are to favoured candidates and not merit based. Recent changes include forcing many back to the office and overall leadership is weak. Company is rigid and highly procedure driven with direction set by the top. My way or highway vibe. Managers have no ability to make changes and people have started to leave in droves due to worsening conditions. Pay has stifled and many competitors now offer better pay and working conditions such as being able to work from home.

Incompetent Executive Management

Pros

Good benefits, decent salary, nice colleagues.

Cons

People with no proper qualifications / zero business sense have been overpromoted all the way to the top, resulting in a dysfunctional ever-changing mess. The business model is still solid but the incompetence at the Executive Management level is shocking.

OK but heading downhill fast

Pros

Flexible work life/balance Good pension Good training opportunities if you join as a field engineer safe company, unlikely to ever get fired

Cons

pay is not competitive rampant favouritism is apparent in many departments. Many jobs are not even advertised and given to preferred candidates without any due process. Obscene levels of hierarchy with most managers up to SVP level having no authority or ability to institute change Company is going through an identity crisis and has made everything, Agile. Senior leadership are scared to rock the boat and follow whatever management consultants tell them. Diversity and inclusion initiative seems to have no goals or meaningful outcomes. Appears to be for show so that execs can say they have this box ticked. Almost no job progression unless you are prepared to relocate consistently. Otherwise progression is dependent on others finally retiring
