ILOG – “Not a bad company to work for.. could have been better”

Pros

Good company, good benefits. Does not lay off people often. Flexible work environment. Mostly good product line and market leader

Cons

Sluggish management is nothing but an old boys' club. You can't get fired if you work for the French organization, regardless of what you do/don't. To top heavy for an organization of it's size

Advice to Senior Management

Do not wait till the company burns down to get out next time. While all competitors did well, ILOG just stagnated. I can only pray for the poor souls who had stock options
