Not as good as it used to be

Pros

The paychecks are don't bounce. There used to be a sense of community and purpose. There is opportunity for advancement if you know the right people.

Cons

When I started at SICK 10 years ago the management board members interacted with employees, knew employee's names and what they did. With the management board change over to all new people, communication has stopped and the focus is money, not the employees or community. I don't think company is healthy when the director of HR will walk by employee and not acknowledge them. They hand out titles like director, manager, lead, senior, etc. to everyone. The titles no longer mean anything. No one knows who is doing what and less work is being completed. They are creating micro managers and there is increased unhappiness in the staff.

Pros

There honestly isn't much to say. Some people may stay there for awhile so that could be a good thing. They are profitable at least.

Cons

- The longer you stay there the less relevant your skills will become. The tech stack is proprietary and really poorly designed. Your skills will not be as transferable, and you may even feel trapped like I did. - Incompetent management with little understanding of tech and best practices - Bad pay and benefits. They will seriously pay you significantly under market - They literally lied about the job in the job description - Poor work-life balance, especially when supporting deployments - Out dated tech with a bad ecosystem. You will have to use a proprietary IDE and a terrible language called Lua. They lied to me about this in the job description and it was an awful realization, - Meh culture and diversity
