Pros

SICPA is a European company, and as you already know most Europeans are cheap. They want to spend the least amount of money and get the most. SICPA is so cheap they are using Visual Studio Community Edition for Enterprise level software development.

Cons

When it comes to software development, SICPA does not know what its doing. The CIO is an absolute joke. Infrastructure team is composed of a bunch of losers who have created job security for themselves by fooling the CIO into giving into their every demand of creating barriers in every corner and spot of the company's systems thus ensuring that if the company hires anyone from outside that person no matter how good will be unable to decipher what these infrastructure clowns have put together. Overall, when it comes to software development, SICPA lacks the infrastructure and tools needed for software development. This company will fail in their software development endeavours and rightfully so, when a company like SICPA can't ensure that it's developers have the tools and hardware they need, what else can they expect?

Pros

- The job is boring: you never wish to stay longer than you are contractually obliged to so you can spend more time at home with your family. - Cafeteria staff is really nice.

Cons

- Technologically outdated: for people who want to work in the tech sector, SICPA is unfortunately several years behind the competition. - Bad managers: no theory of management in the company, just a bunch of tenured employees with outward confidence. - HR can't do its job well: as an employee, visiting HR feels worse than a visit to the dentist. HR admin people are not trained in HR tasks. - No one knows which way is up: teams are disconnected from a sense of purpose and just try to follow the new idea from a manager who wants to leave his mark although he doesn't know about basic business rules. - People are treated like tools: SICPA has lost sight of any goal beyond the current quarter's profits. Experience is not rewarded, neither is business acumen. - The C-level executives are role-playing instead of working: they end up in the job entirely unprepared for and unsupported in the uncomfortable stuff. - The smartest people in the company are buried deep in the org chart: the above mentioned mid-level managers are making sure that no one who could be smarter than them can be heard. - Compensations are below average.
