Pros

Cool technologies and products. Mostly nice co-workers Flexible hours Opportunities to travel

Cons

What was once a great company to work for became a toxic workplace. Re-orgs and lay-offs are never ending. People became afraid of their own shadow and those who have opportunities to escape are leaving. HERE has a ridiculous number of executives, VPs and planners but most people who could get the job done have been let go or shall be soon. Headcount reductions are impacting the most knowledgeable employees when notorious brown nosers who don't deliver any value seem to be safe. Leadership in place has made very poor decisions. If down sizing is sometimes needed, letting go most people with Map and spatial data expertise is a nonsense for a mapping company

Pros

Leadership is very understanding and are clear SME’s that know what their doing. There’s a learning curve that’s complex, but compensation and experience is worth the training.

Cons

Internal operations could be better, but that’s expected with any growing company.

There are no major downsides from my experience. Some processes could be improved for efficiency, but overall it’s a solid place to work.
