      Horrible management

      Pros

      Good product no doubts with fantastic market share globally. Definitely a product worth investing, the best choice for restaurant or hotel.

      Cons

      Horrible management with no basic knowledge of respect for fellow subordinates. Small little petty and immature behavior of management in singapore. Not surprised if one day Singapore office will be winded up due to inexperienced management.

      Excellent product, stable company, questionable HR practices, difficulty adapting to international markets.

      Pros

      RATIONAL outclasses all its competitors in terms of product and service. At senior management level, there is no real time off due to the nature of the job, but this is not unique to RATIONAL. Remuneration is on par with competition, but foremost you get to work with the absolute best the industry has to offer. Excellent training programs are offered to sales staff and many competitors actually try to recruit from RATIONAL due to their excellent training.

      Cons

      It is a top down German management culture allowing little room for personal initiative. You either love it or hate it.
