Pros

When I started, things were great, I was happy with the team, work, atmosphere, money, benefits, career opportunities.

Cons

Things started to turn sour slowly. At the start, people got sacked every once in a while, which is to be expected in sales, but dismissals got more and more frequent and less and less reasonable. There was never a positive outlook, things always seemed to be going badly, you were constantly in fear of buy outs, lay offs etc. Culture completely turned around. Turned into a great place for dishonest people who walked all over their colleagues and kissed up to management. Talent and skills weren't valued or nurtured. Very poor training. Hard work and dedication weren't valued. Hitting sales targets was - not so much what you did to get there and the appreciation never lasted until the next month.

Pros

Interesting field with vast possibilities for business expansion. Well, COBOL is not the coolest language, but is still rather funky for its age.

Cons

Limited options for career development, lack of education programs.

Pros

When I was there it was a great working environment (open plan), the people were friendly and helpful plus flexible working

Cons

COBOL is a real niche language and although they have additional tools and product like mainframe tools, the market place for COBOL must be in decline
