Pros

They have many clients so there's never a shortage of work to do. They're multinational so you know they will probably survive any individual recession.

Cons

They do not pay well, and so to get any new employees they take under-qualified candidates with little to no experience. I fortunately had a bit of experience when I started working for them under contract. After awhile, they increase your responsibilities disproportionate to your authority or compensation. For instance, they may suddenly insist you are on-call, and will not properly compensate you for that time. I refused to go from contract to a full employee after observing how much remote (India, Czech, etc.) outsourcing goes on, then creating deception with customers to let them believe the work is being done in-house by Skidata people. I had to keep several e-mail accounts in order to maintain this charade on their behalf, and it was quite disconcerting.

Worst morale I've ever experienced.

Pros

Compensation was fair and the benefits were amazing. Not many, other than the benefits. Occasionally the work was interesting, I guess.

Cons

HORRIBLE employee morale, but hidden from management for fear of being fired. Zero - and I mean ZERO - flexibility from management, but employees are expected to work all hours of the day and night when needed. Management doesn't want to hear concerns - ever. They listen, but do nothing about any concerns that are raised. Project management is a joke. Every project I was involved with or heard about had parts missing or poor planning. We were always taking from future projects to back fill missing parts due to project manager ineptitude. Unprofessional Absolutely no work life balance for new people. Apparently, once you're there for many years, some flexibility is given (albeit begrudgingly). No respect shown to employees. Training was basically non-existent. I did most of it on my own and when I questioned management on what to do next (after exhausting whatever I could find), it many times took a long time to get a response.
