Pluspunten
Been here almost 5 years and it's been an amazing experience overall. Good place to develop a career, not just to work. I got in at the right time and have benefitted from company growth from ~150 employees at time of hire to over 400 today (maybe close to 500). 1. In my experience the people are great, and over the course of my tenure I've always been happy with my immediate management despite several changes/promotions. I've dealt with very little micro-management, and I've always felt able to approach my manager with concerns or to ask for advice. 2. Ability to move up quickly if you display intelligence, a good work ethic, sense of personal responsibility, and make smart/strategic decisions. It's the business world - you have to be able to play the game at least a little bit. 3. Great company culture - casual office environment, higher level management is generally approachable, beer carts, and historically there have been a lot of company social events. However that culture feels endangered due to acquisition by SAP (see cons).
Minpunten
1. Very poor internal communication strategy. People get promoted, change departments, or get fired and you almost never hear about it from management and when you do its way too late - everyone already knows about it through the rumor mill. This is leading to a growing lack of confidence in management, especially in the face of the company being bought out. 2. Fast-paced growth and acquisition by a giant software mega-corp is changing the feel of the company overall - despite insistence from upper management to the contrary. It's not all bad - but it's different and in combination with number 1 lends itself to a sense of unease amongst employees. Tech start ups don't stay start ups forever if they are doing it right, so these changes are to be expected.
