Pros

Room to pick up projects and present ideas

Cons

Closed door to grow to senior management. Highly political due to an informal power base of long serving managers that not planning to move. The scarce senior managers with the balls to do bold things are systematically obstructed Company lead by fear Due to private equity planning to sell: Ebitda driven and home market focussed, no international ambitions

Not good anymore

Pros

Casual dress code. Can come in early and leave early. Work from home one day a week. Free coffee/tea. Some colleagues are nice.

Cons

Used to be a great place. Everything was relaxed, but now they push you with more work. Be prepared to work outside of your job description. If you don't, you're penalized. Managers will push you to work harder. You do not receive any praise or recognition for your hard work. Teams can be toxic. They are nice to your face but will report to managers and tell on their teammates. Low salary. Even if you get a promotion (next to impossible) your raise isn't much. Managers choose favorites for promotions. The software is old and complicated. The company makes itself look better than it is. Energy in the company is draining fast. No one is happy anymore. Constant revolving door of employees. Cult-like mentality.

Unstable company

Business Outlook

Pros

Good location, good office atmosphere and good work life balance.

Cons

Low salaries specially for women. Unstable strategy for company for more than two years cause so much frustration within the company that Exact suffered from loss of so many of its good senior software engineers and software architects. Exact doesn't have a good employee retention policy. The software is too old and no solid and long term vision into how to upgrade the technology stack. Because the code is really old and most components are in-house-developed, it takes a long time and lots of frustration for new software engineer to be able to contribute to the software delivery.
