Hard to grow to really good technical positions. Too much politics and business stuff

Pros

Flexibility to work from home when needed. That is the normal in any tech company, I guess.

Cons

Too many old people with old thinking. Too many business people and missing real technical talent. It's a business company, not a technology company. Salaries are really good only for business people (sales and executives). Engineers only get a really good salary if you give your life to the company and become a Band 9/10, with all the politics you must do to get there. Pure technical talents are not valued by the company.

Advice to Management

Give more value to technical people and stop giving value only to business people.

Put more technical people in management and executive positions. It is a technology company managed by people who do not understand technology very well.
