Employment status: current
Experience level: Senior

Long-term Software Group employee.
Pros: * Flexible working.
* Average pay.
* Great opportunities for women, minorities, disabled.
* Potential to work on significant projects.
* Good work life balance.
* The people are often great, you can almost rely on anyone in the organisation to be helpful.
Cons: * Morale rock-bottom.
* Project management often very poor. Project badly run, technically compromised through lack of planning and arbitrary dates.
* No training, except from fellow employees.
* Sometimes awful work-life balance. Can depend.
* Company PBC process for rating employees is demoralising, and gears up employees to play the game and rather than excelling at their day job.
