Pros

compensation is higher than average

Cons

In-bred mentality, if you haven't been at the company for a long time or did not work at Cognos or IBM, you will not be accepted by senior management team.

Pros

In general, the people around me, the DOers, are nice people. Quality ? I would say average with some exceptions both ways. Nothing wrong with that.

Cons

Although the company is growing a lot there has been some firing during the past 2-3 years. I've actually worked with most of those people. You really wonder if that was really nec, unavoidable ? Despite what HR says, the general impression is that this is not the case. There is a growing feeling in the company that anyone could be next, junior senior, whatever. Especially since there has been quite a lot of hiring of "leadership" (manager, CxOs, VPs etc) that, really, can't do what the DOers do. They were hired to "lead". With that comes quite a bit of bs tasks on each of us which are competing with our actual, real tasks that we need to do to make the product work. Hence many feel insecure, u don't know what can happen next. And then we have examples at hand of hires at the very top of the company, CxOs, senior VPs, that everyone will agree they brought absolutely no value.. To the product. Some have left the company now, still you wonder "how was that possible?". And then you see the DOers, like i said, junior or senior no difference, getting fired. It feels wrong, makes you want to look for something else. In the end, it's just a job and you are just a number.
