Pluspunten
- High technology, "sexy" product. - Very competitive salaries for engineers at the beggining of their career. - Very competent engineers and overall technical staff - Very organized in comparison with most firms - HR seems concerned about motivation of employees. HR does not always do a good job, but at least they seem to try. - Global company, which means you usually have the opportunity to deal with other companies around the world, either with partners, clients or suppliers. - Good benefits - Life style balance depends a lot on the area you work. Can be very good (44h/week) or very bad (80h/week).
Minpunten
- Very slow career progression (there are very rare exceptions to this rule) - Low bonuses (the most recent ones have been negligible) - Most part of the management doesn't have a formal education in management and manages according to "gut feeling" and own rules. - In some cases, the disparity between salary and responsibility is huge (great responsibility, low salary). - Despite the set of rules created for promotions, merit is still less taken into consideration than personal relationship with management.
