Complete Failure of Leadership. No actionable strategic management plan.

Pros
#1: Technology is solid as is the company vision. However these are a given in the eyes of the customer. i.e. - It needs to work and there needs to be a quantifiable return on investment.
Cons
Pervasive misrepresentation, well below any measurable level of ethical standard, painfully toxic culture, very low morale, rampant resignations and layoffs. Local Americas leadership is being micromanaged by German / Chinese back-office and are simply along for the ride until (seemingly) stock options mature and/or contracts renew. Global CEO management style is 100% authority/compliance and completely ignorant to the fact that local markets are entirely unique. More specifically, the US market is not ready and most likely will never be ready for this type of enterprise software as the trends of best in class and open standards become more and more the decided path. Unfortunate that two very healthy US businesses had to be acquired and subsequently dismantled as part of RIB's second failed attempt at diversifying into the American markets. Very high and exhaustive turnover. Please be certain to actively network on LinkedIn, you will find a great many short and long term former US employees who can share personal experiences. All signs point towards massive retrenchment efforts at the cost of many good people.

Pros
-Premise and mission of software for construction industry is OK, but it's not the next best thing. -Lots of events -Attractive to people looking to make their next career move through "titles" they lure you in with
Cons
-Management seems like it's under authoritarian/direct dictatorship through global CEO (often making jokes about it as well) -Seems as if they give titles very liberally to people without the proper experience and/or leadership -People are afraid to speak up to CEO, often sitting and nodding their heads in "agreement" with whatever he has to say -Direction is given from different sources, no interchangeable medium to act upon, often leaving you very confused in your capacity -Although competent, support and marketing are completely based in China -No real company culture -There's a certification program that exists for the iTWO platform that is not linear and uniform in any way. Quite frankly, the certification program doesn't make much sense outside of training direction. The company isn't Microsoft or Oracle. -General sense of low morale among employees -Very "cliquey" at events -Cultural differentiation causes concern for business directed in America. I don't think upper management takes this into consideration for US market, particularly for current political climate -They are currently hiring people without any software experience who then dictate and direct people who actually have software experience
