Pros

+ Great team spirit and friendly, highly skilled colleagues.

Cons

- Junior developers are not given enough guidance and left to figure things out on their own. - Middle management doesn't have time to take care of their teams. - No communication between teams, let alone different units. - Constant pressure to earn money for the company at the expense of individual learning paths, i.e., even though managers say its ok to use work time for learning, there is never an opportunity to do so. - Constant revolving door: new developers are hired but soon leave. This should make the bosses realize that something needs to change but no-one seems to care. - Bad salary and pay rises are not even discussed. - Outdated technologies.

Pros

Excellent 401k matching (if you stick around long enough for it to vest) Employer-paid benefits Work with a highly regarded application framework (Qt)

Cons

Crappy work-life balance benefits, very uneven (EU gets 5 weeks of time off, USA gets 2 weeks) Not a team-oriented environment. USA (sales) vs EU (engineering) Sucky IT policies (bordering on paranoid) Cheap on salary. Big split in corporate culture: open vs closed source. Business mission flawed. Work office was often empty, very little team cohesion, lots of passive-aggressive behavior by management and colleagues. Outsourced HR and IT

Pros

5 weeks of vacation (European company benefits) Good medical insurance options Great product

Cons

clueless managers too much politics and high school-clique culture Too much Estrogen in the air No real mission or clear business objectives and long term vision Free product is so good few customers wants to pay for the supported version (like trying to sell extended warranty to Honda owners)
