Advice to Senior Management

Pros

Good salary,
Transparent Management ,

If your product become stable nothing much to grow technically.

Pros

SunGard is at times an amazing place to work, and then you get the other extreme where you want to just shake your head in astonishment at some decisions. More often that not, you get an opportunity to work in an international setting and those Sungard colleagues sitting across from you are smarter than you, more experienced than you, and knows everything about you before you even sat down. Then you recognize how cool and down to earth almost everybody is and you get on with it. You always learn something new everyday.

Cons

I'll list in no particular order:
1)Its huge - 23,000 employees around the world.
2)Its fragmented - Very large segments all vying for the attention and budget/compensation dollars. 3)There's a reorg every year - new managers every year, new expectations.
4)Very top heavy
5)BS routine about "titles don't really matter" - really?

Advice to Senior Management

Need to develop a practical vision for the company to follow and articulate how that vision will become a reality

Pros

Hi-tech; corporate discipline; opportunities for growth; rewards for success; responsibility & accountability enforced.

Cons

M&A's distracting and disturbing to the core.

Advice to Senior Management

Take the company public again and let other share in its success; private control is good for management but poor for everyone else, especially with only Board oversight.

Pros

- Good geographic position (in the center of Paris)
- Friendly colleagues

Cons

- worst top management ever, with poor skills in both management and technique
- very low salary compared to similar jobs
- no career opportunities
- zero respect for clients
- massive de-localizations in Tunisia with a huge loss in quality processes and software engineering knowledge

Advice to Senior Management

Sungard Global Trading was previously GL Trade and was acquired by Sungard in the end of 2010. I predict this firm will go bankrupt within a year or two if it keeps managing people like in the 80s, with zero reactivity and no respect for their employees. Wake up Sungard GT before it's too late ! The world doesn't wait for loosers companies unfortunately, only the best will survive.

Pros

international company which is known all over the world

Cons

training process is not good at all

Advice to Senior Management

work on training and employee packages

Pros

one of the best things that I like working for SunGard is their flexibility in work schedules and their understanding of the balance of work and family. They do that better then any other company I have worked for.

Cons

In certain areas growth is not the easiest, the structure is more flat which is bad and good but makes climbing the corporate ladder difficult.

Pros

Flexi Timing Good location change of oroject

Cons

Lenient no planning no good leads in my team

Advice to Senior Management

Don't be blinded by what is shown try to find on your own the worth of people
