Excellent products but little internal support.

Pros

Great place to work if you are self reliant and a good self manager. Lot of freedom to plan your days. Would recommend anyone considering working for them has previous experience of there products from university/previous employment.

Cons

Little interaction with management. Can sometimes feel quite remote. Training isn't that great although help is there if you demand it. Admin can be unhelpful but I suppose that is every large organisation.

Business Outlook

Pros

There's a lot of work and you can have as much responsibility as you want. The projects/products are also interesting. The company gives merit raises every year which is typically around 2% & 3%. The company seems to grow every year. They are great at mergers and acquisitions.

Cons

This company doesn't seem to care much about advancement of employees from within or retaining talent. Advancement raises are capped at 7% (maximum) and it seems to include the merit raise. Meaning, you could go from an entry level position to Director of Operations and they will only give you, at maximum, 7%. From what I've seen the raises aren't worth the extra responsibility.
