Lawson Software – “A mixed bag technology company”

Pros

Many great people to work with and very good software package that meets customers requirements. Being able to work as a remote employee is a plus. Compensation is okay. Medical benefits are very good.

Cons

Employees are not well treated. Lots of change . No benefit to employees when things are going well, but plenty of downside when they are not going well. No stock options. It is very difficult to get promoted and if you are not part of the old boy network forget it.

Advice to Senior Management

Employees are the key to the company's success. Company makes employees feel like they are part of the problem and not part of the solution. Actions taken are usually top down driven with very little employee input. If you are going to seek input then respect it otherwise don't bother.
