Autonomy Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Autonomy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Nice offices on St James. You too can have a fumble where the queen mum used to get jiggy.

Cons – They support chav sports. A lot of hot air at best, aurasma producing is the norn.

Advice to Senior Management – the most senior have gone, but the real trash are still there. the training guy is basically lower than a suicide bomber..

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Autonomy full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – None
No good benefits
No commendations

Cons – Senior skilled employees are treated as fresh graduates And paid peanuts

Advice to Senior Management – Be generous and reward your best employees and you may be able to retain them

Former Employee – worked at Autonomy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Salary was decent ....but only because I came from one of many acquisitions.

Cons – NO direction
OVERBEARING micro management.
Weekly ridiculous SMS calls that are a waste of sales time.
Integration with HP....what integration?
Actual process to get a sales order booked is a complete disaster. I could run cross country faster.

Advice to Senior Management – Get over yourselves!! Start reading these reviews....do you see the stream of people leaving? Should tell you something....

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Autonomy full-time for more than a year

Pros – It has a good bonus scheme, and the people there were some of the nicest I've worked with.

Cons – Awful base salary. I've heard of people not getting raises there, but I managed to get one. That said, it wasn't a very good raise, and it took for me to leave the company to get it.
Awful management
Awful software development practice
No clear career routes
Sales driven, no care or pride taken in products created

Advice to Senior Management – Take some pride in the work you produce, and considering your a multi billion software company, get some proper software development practices hammered in to your employees!

Former Employee – worked at Autonomy

Pros – Plenty of things for you to work on.
Decent free foods - 1-2 times per week.

Cons – HP maybe taking over, but given HP executives did not run HP well, I doubt if they will run Autonomy any better.
No pay raise.
Very little benefits.
HP see Autonomy as the goose that laid the golden eggs, but this goose has cancer. I cannot list them all.

Current Employee – been working at Autonomy full-time for more than a year

Pros – Christmas party, which they are plan on removing this year. Decent bonus, generally nice working environment. Free food on Fridays and drinks everyday

Cons – The management never seem to know what's going on down below. The only way to get a pay rise is to quit. The hard work pays off in the short tern, rarely in the long term. Difficult to advance due the the cosy management in place.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't break promises (raises, visa, travel). You are working you employees to death. Manage your projects better, quality not quantity.

Current Employee – been working at Autonomy full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Since the directors quit a couple of months ago things have got much better here. Plus the web filter that stopped us getting to a load of websites has gone and the dress code is casual at last.

But the best thing about being here is the rest of the dev team who are great guys and you learn loads from each other.

Cons – Though the former directors were the cause of most of the negativity here we could still probably do with some new ones so I hope someone's looking.
