Pluspunten

Some interesting projects to work on Reasonable salary Promotion is structured - it is like McDonalds, after 2 years you get promoted, then after another year or two and you get promoted to the next

Minpunten

It isn't your fault if there is no work. You are chosen for redundancy if you are not billing (in the redundancy rounds, no-one that was 'billing' was ever chosen in a redundancy round). You can be put on projects that don't match your skills but you are just available. You can be put on projects where you are 'just a pair of hands' You can be put on projects that are boring. I am a scientist and I don't want to work on a mismanaged DIGITAL ARCHIVING project ever! The internal systems used are dire. A timesheet program written in VB6, Lotus Notes, a home rolled CRM. You have minimal autonomy and there can be micro management. Lots of "know it all's" with opinions on everything. Sales culture is to get every penny out of the customer. Often this means that there are stroppy email messages sent to existing customers for more money, and you as the software developer have to go and work there being a different face of the company and having to apologize for the hard sales tactics and behaviour.

Pluspunten

- Lots of training provided - Exposed to different projects at different companies - Cozy community. The company is small and you will know everyone and will interact with them all the time. I was very close to my colleagues in our office and we were like family. - Company conference in the UK every year

Minpunten

- I had fantastic direct management but higher-up management did not seem to have clear direction of what to do with the US market. - Sometimes high-up management involved too much into technical decisions, in which they had very little knowledge on the domain, and would cause bad direction in development - Salary not rewarding. Regardless how much one contributed to the revenue and improvements of the company, promotion and salary increase (or even salary adjustment) wouldn't happen until one demands for it. - Bonus scheme was unfair.
