Pros

- Some of the people on top are brilliant and inspiring - There are smart colleagues to learn from - Time for time, extra hours counted as leave or cash. - The passion for doing amazing work is all there. - We have talented people who can deliver amazing optimizer for solving complex planning puzzles.

Cons

- Unrealistic project deadlines - The passion for doing great work is partially negated by deliveries with sky-high expectation, lack of leadership, low teamwork and sub-par project management. - Employees are expected to be self-reliant, similar to the Netflix model where only the A-graders thrive at the detriment of others. - Despite what management preach, employee growth and training is secondary, everything else is about putting company above all else. - Some instances of finger pointing when things fall through the cracks. - Our technology used to be cool few years ago, we are now playing catch up with our competitors on a number of issues and this is a bit worrying.

Pros

They hire straight out of school, and the pay is nice for that background. The entry moment into the company feels awesome. It can be fun to solve real-life problems with optimization tools. Most people are friendly and reasonable to work with.

Cons

The biggest problems come from the top. You could call these problems superiority complex and micromanaging. Some higher ups will rather have you work two weeks on their idea and fail than even discuss and compare to an alternative idea from the people who have their hands dirty. Higher ups create a culture of "yes men" and ant farm - no room for your creative thinking and contributing on the levels you would be capable of. In another note, the management definition of a fun challenge seems to be simply setting tighter deadlines. Giving broader responsibilities is not part of their toolbox. Some parts of the company work with absurd deadlines and as a result their work quality is less than stellar. The company is very stingy with salary progression. Be prepared to either stagnate or walk away when your experience exceeds the carved-in-stone pay grades. It is worth noting that most tools you used are in-house so you won't get nice buzzwords in your CV that impress other employers.
