Pros

Qualified technical resources Large company with some well-known customers lets you gain experience in the large-entreprise market HQ located in Hasselt, avoiding traffic jam compared to working in Brussels

Cons

Too much directors running around, Cegeka mainly grows through acquisitions and every CEO of formerly taken-over companies gets a seat in the boardroom which makes it very bureaucratic and hard to take swift decisions at top level. Infrastructure, Applications, Outsourcing and Professional Services are all islands with their own BU management, there is no cooperation at all between these islands and the climate is very protective towards their own BU's. A central sales team was created to tackle this but this was a joke as other BU managers did not support this cross-channel approach. Cegeka's CEO only cares about growth, all the rest such as employee satisfaction, work-life balance, bonus compensation etc is not important. The pay is generally less than other ICT companies located in Brussels.

Pros

Autonomous work environment with flexible work locations

Cons

In US - No guaranteed annual raises due to letting the clients set the tone for profit margins, no annual bonus, no employer 401k contribution, could report internally to at least 3 managers as well as your client manager weekly, lack of representation with client for salary growth. Know that your work/life balance will be totally dependent upon client expectations and not the company's internal culture so experiences will widely vary based on your client manager.
