Pros

- nice colleagues - work from home policy

Cons

- strategy changes every few weeks - extremely siloed environment (teams master reinventing wheels on a daily basis) - very poor system and software engineering practices (stay away if you are keen to learn and advance in the craft) - red tape everywhere, bureaucracy, very slow moving (hey, it's French company!) - product owners and managers sound clueless in regard to software products development, modern development techniques and engineering practices - too many people are suffering from "prima donnaism" - very high turnover rate

Pros

Remote, this is an extreme pro because it will keep you from catching an assault case when some Axway career loser talks crazy to you on email or Teams and all you want to do is punch the guy in the mouth. So many long term employees there couldn't work anywhere else b/c they aren't even half-way competent at their jobs - performance over substance, mediocrity over competence and being male are what is rewarded there.

Cons

How long have you got? Below market pay. Co-workers and leadership that range from incompetent to passive aggressive to outright hostile. Some of the worst contract T&Cs I've seen in my career - it took me a while to realize the reason I never had legal redline review calls with customers - the T&Cs were completely in their favor. There wasn't much for them to redline. Cross functional teams will do nothing but dump work on you or pontificate on calls about anything other than what you've asked them to actually do. The "great work life balance" is for everyone else but the sales team. Others have a great balance b/c they don't actually have to do much work. Guess who gets to pick up the slack b/c you have to get deals over the line? But don't worry, you'll get a link to a Jive post or a PPT prez explaining how you can do their job for them. I'm not kidding. Truly a nightmare of a company.
