1. Job security is very high. Firing is very low, although in 2014, some layoffs were conducted through an attractive voluntary separation plan.

2. Laid-back culture with a high degree of freedom regarding project goals, implementation methodology, and working hours. Almost nobody ever questions attendance in meetings or work.

3. Excellent cash bonuses and stocks are provided for senior employees (Grade 7 and above).

1. Base pay is less compared to other employers. Not a top payer.

2. Upper management is slow in decision-making, lots of reorganization happens, and lots of duplicate efforts for a single area.

3. Slow rate of promotions and career growth.

Decision-making should be much faster. Products should be released on a faster cadence.

Redundancy within the organization should be reduced.

Employees should be rewarded monetarily for good work and penalized more for sloppiness.
