Demoralised and sad place where products die
Pros
Some people say work life balance? Well, in some teams you can work from home. Then you have lots of travelling as a payback, so not really... Benefits are quite good, you can get educational assistance, access to very good learning portal, but that is all.
Cons
- no pay rises - career progression is a joke, there are hardly any people who actually got promoted - lots of new acquisitions are botched from the beginning, key people leave and products die - OT buys companies for their financial results then puts products in maintenance mode and kills them slowly - some of middle managers are good, lots are just after good financial spreadsheets, nothing else - general feeling that management doesn't care about employees in the slightest - morale extremely low, lots of people leaving - hiring freeze - problematic as some teams lost key people they cannot replace - micromanagement right from the top - current top management initiative is a laughing stock of the whole company
