Pros
- The job is boring: you never wish to stay longer than you are contractually obliged to so you can spend more time at home with your family. - Cafeteria staff is really nice.
Cons
- Technologically outdated: for people who want to work in the tech sector, SICPA is unfortunately several years behind the competition. - Bad managers: no theory of management in the company, just a bunch of tenured employees with outward confidence. - HR can't do its job well: as an employee, visiting HR feels worse than a visit to the dentist. HR admin people are not trained in HR tasks. - No one knows which way is up: teams are disconnected from a sense of purpose and just try to follow the new idea from a manager who wants to leave his mark although he doesn't know about basic business rules. - People are treated like tools: SICPA has lost sight of any goal beyond the current quarter's profits. Experience is not rewarded, neither is business acumen. - The C-level executives are role-playing instead of working: they end up in the job entirely unprepared for and unsupported in the uncomfortable stuff. - The smartest people in the company are buried deep in the org chart: the above mentioned mid-level managers are making sure that no one who could be smarter than them can be heard. - Compensations are below average.
