Pluspunten
- Challenging (at the beginning) - Interesting projects for new grads - Some tech leads are knowledgeable and make good mentors - Good training opportunities (when granted) - Competitive benefits - Stable job - Flexibility - Good work/life balance - Open-door policy (not always though)
Minpunten
- Lower and middle management too young and inexperienced - Many people fail to understand basic concepts - R&D engineers work disconnected from customers' needs - Management plays favorites as part of the culture, which lowers the "outsiders" morale - Consensus culture (promoted by management) makes projects move slow and developers are then blamed for delayed outcomes - Switch and bait due to lack of direction/leadership/understanding and underperforming marketing department - Although a company's benefit is tuition assistance, graduate studies are not valued nor appreciated
