Pros

Macbook work Laptop, good coffeemaker

Cons

Midlevel Management seems to be unwilled to roll sleeves up or go into details to enhance results, lag of implemented processes lead to sets of criterias and report KPI s (like on activity) that do not translate into actionable let alone scaleable or planable results. Allmost all international sales staff in the EU HQ staff is either underperfomant midlevel crownies that once where with EMC or are desperate enough to start with servicenow for what is average salary at a premium price location combined with Quotas that do not appropriately actual value delivered and revenue generated as based on some underperfomant senior Managers inappropriate KPI s that fosters mediocracity as well as incentivizing hit and run deals over broader share at the clients vallet in Presales and Marketing and then having to rely on field sales to catch up on all that was missed due incapability of management to deliver appropriate value. I know former collegues of two of the guys so it is save to say that mediocracity hiding in behind titles like "director" is the line of proceeding they are good at and with no ability or aspiration to change but lots of efforts spent in obfuscation and blame-shifting of uncerperfomance of their departments. This applies to the specific non-US office location i worked at, it may be different in other locations

Pros

Free snacks Leadership opportunities Stable work given current ai market You can get challenging engaging work but it comes at the cost of putting in extra hours Smart and helpful people work here

Cons

Work can a bit boring if not on something cutting edge Dev experience is pretty bad, moving xml files around that contain the actual code, proprietary low/no code platform to build products Full of Indians, diversity is a joke in engineering. It feels like a cost cutting measure more than anything else tbh Very much a checkbox mentality when building products instead of long term thinking with quality and usability Doubts about upper leaderships navigation during rise of ai Pay is nothing near what it should be, especially after stock dropped almost 40% yoy Certain internal processes are difficult for no other reason than we made them like that, lots of reaching out to people for rqts, signoffs, adjustments etc
