Pros

Very intelligent people. Fair compensation. Family atmosphere. International culture.

Cons

Results are the focus. The European culture is one where people speak their minds. It is not for the faint of heart.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

The product is completely unwieldy. They have a proprietary development environment. Developers have to learn the language and way it connects and drives code. Then they have to learn the about the business they are developing a solution for, and then they have to finally develop the product. They do not adhere to any Agile or rapid development methodologies, other than pressure on teams. The people developing the solutions were also wasting cycles building monolithic specifications. Then building monolithic one-customer solutions. Customer satisfaction was generally low, as well as employee morale. Upper management was more interested in communicating about industry analysts' perspectives than they were about creating a better product that was easier to maintain and scale in a corporation's growing infrastructure.
