A friendly workplace slowly adopting recent methodologies

Java developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Sympathetic managers, flexible working hours. No pressure to work overtime. Technical challenges sometimes. Like communism: if once admitted, you are not likely to get fired. Good news: for the lazy.

Cons

Too many and waaaaay too long meetings. Too complex processes. Relatively low salaries. Like communism: if once admitted, you are not likely to get fired. Bad new: your laziest workmates are also well cognizant of this. :(

Business Outlook

Pros

Well, kind of a big company, nice people around, but happy with all they have and not looking for more (at least in Sweden)

Cons

For some reason, that is hardly to conceive, company let go the youngest, full of passion. As a result all you see is complacent 45-65 y.o. folks that hurry home to kids and family and do not care much about the company.

Canned for Cancer

Technical trainer/rf engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The Plano Office is tastefully decorated and has a lake. And a pretty nice cafeteria.

Cons

A culture of governance by fear. Exempt employees have no holidays. Americans are not welcome. Terrible product. I was the most productive trainer in the training department. I literally averaged MORE than 40 hours a week on platform (and that doesn't count all of the other parts of the job, like travel). I also taught more courseware than anyone else. Yet, I got canned, literally, two days after I told them I had cancer. Then they illegally cut off my health insurance. Then they broke the law by not sending me COBRA forms.
