German Efficiency? Not as efficient as you may expect!

Pros

Some very talented people who have the potential to achieve so much more than they are able to here. Birmingham management is good and there are valid attempts to improve culture at least in the Birmingham office.

Cons

However, be prepared for endless bureaucracy, office politics, demeaning attitude of London and Frankfurt staff towards people based in non-Hub locations, terrible technology, "we have always done it that way" culture and constant frustration.

Pros

Trying very hard to cultivate an environment and culture that was friendly and exciting to software developers. Diverse workforce. There were people from all parts of the world working there, and covering the age and gender spectrum. Made for a very interesting and fun work environment. Front line managers were supportive. Lots of projects, and mobility within the Cary location was encouraged. Competitive salaries, bonuses and benefits.

Cons

In my short time there, it seemed to me as if the software center in Cary was growing quite rapidly, that is, experiencing growing pains. In the time since I left, I have heard that the culture has changed. That the banking people have lost a little patience with the process of creating an effective software center, which may have been a result of rapid expansion I witnessed.

Pros

Nothing good about this company

Cons

They call you for the interview, give you selection call, ask you to forward salary details and then actual game start of giving excuses saying cost center issue and all. Nobody will give you clear understanding, this is ridiculous. Do you really think this is professional, it happened twice with me. If you dont have funds to hire people then why you call them for an interview. Please note we are not free for such hell experience.
