Pros

Good timely payment Nice benefits Nice people Company doesn't put a lot of performance pressure

Cons

Working with not popular tools which makes you valuable only at that position. Very hard to leave the job, because you are not using the most popular coding staff. You dont learn much at the position that can be valued at a different company.

TOXIC culture, questionable future

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Miraculously many colleagues you are so kind and brilliant. They have been there so long they believe the toxic treatment from senior management is normal

Cons

1. If you are a woman- RUN. They pay a lot of lip service about DEI and ERGs to cover up what’s really lurking beneath. 2. If you are not Swedish you will not be promoted 3. Long hours for less than industry average pay 4. Promotions are not based on skill or merit, rather who will kiss the ring and stroke egos 5. Rapidly declining business case for NextG. Already long technology cycles exasperated mean more layoffs and a struggling business. Eventually they should be bought by big tech for the value of their patents 6. Google their DOJ penalties and you will see what kind of company you are dealing with

Secure employment but low salary

Recommend

Pros

- There's a lot of technically challenging tasks, which is fun. - The people there are good to you - The managers try to help you

Cons

- Lack of direction - Low salary - Low salary development - HR requires very weird self assessments and manager assessment of you yearly - Some of the most boring mandatory training videos I've ever seen
