RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros
  • 6-week sabbatical every four years
  • Great support and regular communication from direct managers
  • Reasonable work/life balance
  • Extra paid "week of rest" at Xmas
  • Generally very positive culture
Cons

Departments work in silos. There's not very good cross-company communication. People are re-inventing the same wheel.

There's a reasonable company strategy/vision, but it doesn't seem to percolate through to the various lower levels of the organization. Again, it seems like everyone's sort of doing whatever.

Advice to Management

Steal some senior exec and engineering people from the big internet companies, and listen to what they have to say.
