OCLC is okay, but there are too many managers

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart motivated co-workers, good benefits, decent pay.

Cons

Too many managers, many of whom have no experience with librarians or library patrons. Few career development opportunities. Little to no training on technologies you are expected to master. You must learn new technologies on your own time. There is general staff distrust of upper management's capricious decisions.

Pros

I am an employee who left OCLC for a couple of years and then came back. I realized what a great place it was to work. As an Engineer, I get to work with the latest and greatest technology. I have a say in our strategic initiatives and work very closely with the tech and product teams here. There is career progression within technology....both upward and laterally. There are a ton of opportunities to move around within the Global Technology division if you are smart and motivated to do so. HR, Legal and Finance are housed within the corporate headquarters and are great partners to work with. I have never worked with such great teams of smart and talented folks who are subject matter experts...within technology, product and Human Resources. Work life balance is huge. Benefits are very hard to beat...especially the retirement plan that kicks in after 2 years of service!

Cons

I cannot think of anything! It is a great place to work!
