Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

re-org every year, very top-down driven by margin
Pros: - fast paced environment
- ensuring a profitable business, with a relative secure job environment
- wide range of soft-skill training available to enable personal development
- interesting environment and solid proven products.
- good product strategy
Cons: - growing by the margin and acquisition
- little investment on the HR side of life. staff is rather seen as a cost factor than a contributing factor
- focus on the quarter end for revenue and cost reduction, rather than optimizing processes for sustainable and lasting improvements
- optimization is often being attempted by making one position out of three, without optimizing anything around this and creating massive bottlenecks and reducing throughput speed / unless the individual is taking the burden, to work endless weeks.
- little empowerment of several management levels (small (value) decisions require approval from VP and above).
- salary is often below average, and particular do not count on salary increase, unless you are considered one of the top 3% high performer of an organization
