Pros

- Health care premium paid totally by employer - Very good 401K match - Generous starting vacation time and holidays - Subsidized cafeteria - Free charging stations for EVs

Cons

- Very European focused, most managers in EU don't understand the US management styles and the dynamics of the USA job market - Lack of diversity in its US IT staff, majority of the staff are from South Asia, who -- no surprise - hire people like them - Stale and semi-competent senior level management in EU, a "la famiglia" that have been with the company for decades and have no idea about the real IT world and the dynamics of the US IT world - Hard to figure where the company wants to go after so much high turnover at the executive level, aggravated by almost constant re-organizations - Antiquated technology, no appetite for risk, while struggling to adopt cloud and Agile - Low base salary, eroding benefits, lower and lower bonuses, and almost no annual raises - Noisy open space office with people that do not respect the privacy of their colleagues
