Pros

Well, if you understand the "winning" strategy" = "cost reduction by not developing any new product+"throwing very valuable but relatively expensive employees out of the bus" +"interpret poor performance as political headwinds" + "blame the new economic changes and technological advancement for revenue loss"+"constant corporate strategy changes with clueless management argument"+"talking about nothing but financial spread sheet"+"good at making some slides"+"very good at political engagement"+"no career ambition but working"+"just want a job"... then this company is a good match for you Most former employees would find much better job opportunities outside

Cons

well, this is a best place to stay if you have no ambition and don't care about under-educated and subpar co-workers in a boring corporate life. Especially if you are new graduate and don't ask for a good pay. Minimum respect to employees, no growth unless you are connected, largely outdated IT system, ignorant (under-educated) work force, condescending/arrogant demeanour, discrimination. This is a company running 80's IT/management system, no mentorship Management hates to understand new ideas and view new technologies as threats rather than opportunities. When "headwinds" happen, the only strategy is to reduce "head counts". Much more marketing/sales staff than product engineering team.

Pros

The pay is ok but stays static so make sure to get a good start. There is agility but needs escalation to make it happen.

Cons

Line managers that have no clue about the customer. Line managers too concentrated on THEIR bonuses. The customer defines our success - if they agree with us otherwise they are just a problem. Bullying and pressuring people into doing things is commonplace. I know the directors and they will not be happy unless you do this now.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Good team spirit (amongst the grass roots personnel) In EMEA team you get to experience working with many interesting people and cultures. Opportunities are there if you're willing to make personal sacrifices

Cons

Shareholder is king, not the Customer Short term and reactionary decision making US has no real interest in investing in EMEA business Takes a certain type of person to progress - you'll have to make sacrifices if you think they are worth it
