Good Culture, Old Tech
Software Engineer • Current Employee
May 16, 2017
Pros: Good facilities, flexible timings, and a good work culture.
Cons: Old technology; compensation is deteriorating.

The best run company I've ever worked at
Software Engineer • Current Employee
July 26, 2010
Pros: Empowerment, responsibility, and both encouragement and opportunity to grow skills and knowledge.
I've worked for several high-tech companies, and this one is the best-run of any I've ever worked at.
Cons: Management on average isn't as technical as other companies I've worked with, which probably limits the complexity of the projects we've ended up tackling in the past. The company understands this and is actively working to address the issue. I'm hopeful that the changes our BU is undergoing will address this in the not-too-distant future.

Pros: There's lots to learn at the company. The WFH feature is very good.
The company has many technologies to offer for employee learning. So, growth at the company is in your hands.
(My last year of employment was 2014, not 2015. I didn't have the option to select 2015.)
Cons: Sometimes workload can be too much.
