Pros

The people in the trenches are some of the best people you will ever meet. They are caring, concerned, committed, and dedicated to superior results.

Cons

Sadly, over the course of my tenure, so much changed and so much declined. Salaries topped out, increases and bonuses were not always paid, benefits were cut, titles were lowered yet senior leadership still received their bonuses, raises, and car allowances. People in the trenches were constantly being expected to do more with less and when there were layoffs, those who remained were then expected to do the jobs of 2 or 3 people. Talented people left in droves and those left behind are very, very disheartened by what has happened to 'their' company that they loved so much and worked so hard for.

Pros

Pays well. Most managers dont care what your doing. They are looking out for themselves and trying to find a ladder to climb.

Cons

Could care less about the employees. They only worry about the almighty Euro. The saying is, if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much. And boy do they let you know it.

Pros

The company has great technology and is firmly established in its industry. The employees are generally passionate about the industry and their ability to contribute to it. The global nature of the business makes it possible to experience multiple cultures and expat opportunities.

Cons

The company has been going through nearly continuous restructuring for the past 2 years. It is hard to tell what the strategy and long-term plan is - and how these changes are aligned with that. Increasingly, employees are not given the space to contribute at the level of their capabilities. Morale is down and the combination of low morale and continuous restructuring has many strong performers leaving the company.
