Pros

You can get away with murder for a really long time.

Cons

An absolutely toxic office, bullying managers and overworked underlings. The only qualification to be a manager is that you are a loudmouth and prepared to join the boys club. Being South African helps. The management for the most part seem to have no actual ability to do their job, they have just found themselves in the Circle of Protected Ones, so have no need to worry about competence. Be prepared to have all your efforts continually blocked by insecure people who need to take all the credit for wins. The losses however will be all yours. Interdepartmental backstabbing will ensure that your opposition will not be other companies, but your "colleagues". After a while you will simply stop trying and go with the flow.

MiX Telematics Response

We are very sorry to hear that you had such a negative work experience at MiX. We have clearly defined values that do not support the described behaviour, nor do we condone such behaviour. Since we operate globally and you have not provided in which office you were working, it is difficult for us to follow up with the relevant managers. Please feel free to get in touch with us so that we can address these issues.

Pros

Remote and that's about it.

Cons

A bunch of 'yes' people in management from top to bottom. Horrible decisions favoring multiple reactive projects instead of analyzing the source of the issue and fixing it at the source. No guidelines or standards cause great employees to wear multiple hats and fix everything while sooth saying managers do nothing but say yes to every project suggestion from above. Upper management cares about nothing but the bottom line. They'll ignore the bottom roled employees but they know that they make things work. When projects are threatened to fail, they'll grab the group of said good employees as an "All-Star" team to look for a solution. Meanwhile the line of managers above you are nowhere to be found in those meetings. When asked for promotion or a raise because of your impact, you get ignored and most likely laid off. If you want to progress with this company 1) Agree with everything and ignore all red flags 2) Be high enough to have direct reports that will do most of the leg work. They'll be the fall guy for failures from bad projects and infrastructure. This has been the pattern for multiple managers there.
