major difficulties transforming into a software/services company - Anonymous employee HERE Technologies Employee Review

It is historically a data/device oriented company. There is very little understanding of how modern software is built and no political will to get away from old style heavy bureaucratic processes and embrace fast paced and chaotic world of user centric software services. Lack of integrity and cynicism at all levels of management. Company is in denial regarding competition. Navteq should not be playing in the one sandbox with Google. Not until it changes its culture and becomes much more dynamic, realistic and focused. Software development capabilities and processes leave much to be desired.
