Company is very driven by quaterly results Not much real innovation for a software development company Lots of senior management around vision and goals Interested more in selling software than developing software Very bottom line driven Beware. Higher salary makes you a target during tough times.

Pros

Good pay, generally good people and atmosphere, open to flexible working and locations.

Cons

Still US-centric company if you want to advance in your career. HR seems weak - individual has to manage their career path with little help from others. Politics do sometimes get in the way to doing great work.
