      Avoid, unless you are devoid of ambition

      Pros

      Great work-life balance, mostly good people to work with. If you want to coast, this is the place for you (until you get laid off in latest downsizing). There is some chance for advancement and management experience etc., because of attrition.

      Cons

      Constant downsizing and attrition. Almost criminally incompetent management full of D-team cast offs from a UK software company still stuck in the 80s who are very very impressed with themselves and their decision making. Executives who lucked into a cushy gig have circled the wagons and consolidate any power into a small group of decision makers and let go of competent executives from acquired companies. No direction, no strategy, no communication. Just terrible.

      Upper management is only interested in Support Revenue and License Audits.

      Pros

      Good pay, some good people here. Good stepping stone in your career if you are a 30 year old white person but don’t plan to retire here - they churn employees.

      Cons

      Annual territory reorganizations cause major disruptions. Favoritism is a problem and in-flight Sales opportunities are reassigned at each reorg. License Audits are handled brutally. Lots of turnover. Pay is not consistent among team members.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased you enjoy the benefits and people you work with at Micro Focus. We have people with all ranges of tenure, from graduates and new starters, through to people celebrating their 30 and 35 year anniversaries with us. We believe in people development and helping build careers, whether that’s within the company or as part of a broader journey in the industry. We always try to pay equitably, using external benchmarks to check that our pay and benefits packages are in line with the market, region by region, and relative to an individual’s capability and experience. Customer relationships are of paramount importance to us, and we recognise the value of keeping the same team on an account so they can build rapport and trust. Sometimes we do need to realign territories, and try to do that thoughtfully and fairly. Licence Verification is an area we handle sensitively, we value our long term relationships with customers and want to work with all customers to make sure they get value from the software they use.
