Pros

The job assignments are complex and intellectually stimulating. Micro Focus has very exciting customers. You will definitely learn new skills and gain very valuable experience working with enterprise customers and premium partners.

Cons

Very dictatorial management style in the sales organization. Some local offices are better than the EMEA offices in UK and Ireland. Management is full of bullies with a few exceptions. Be prepared to be disrespected, dominated, and humiliated. Salaries are average. You can earn commission but management will try to cheat you on your quota and setting you up to fail.

Micro Focus Response

Thanks for your feedback. The positives confirm what we are doing well and the negatives give me an opportunity to check out what and where we can improve as they cause me concern. As a result of a major acquisition activity, teams inevitably go through change which creates many exciting challenges. People adjust and adapt to change on a personal level in very different ways. We are all unique in that regard. However, growth is in the Micro Focus DNA and we will continue to actively seek these challenges. People who excel at Micro Focus are people who can embrace change along the way. The company continues to invest in people at every level to enable them to do an excellent job. Sales quotas are high but in turn we develop our teams to focus on the actions needed to be successful so targets become stimulating yet achievable. In doing so, Micro Focus has been able to exceed shareholder expectations and deliver the returns they expect. We appreciate your honest feedback.

Pros

- great working atmosphere - colleagues are friendly and helpful - Health Insurance paid by company, 26 weeks maternity leave, breakfast, sweets on Fridays - Social club it's very nice. Company gives treats on St Patricks, Christmas, some summer days

Cons

People are very disappointed as salary doesn't increase. People talk even about 3 years without a raise and when got it, was like 1%. People feel demotivated and loads of people have been quitting as found better salaries for same role. When I get my first year working, won't stay if I don't get at least 10%, I effort a lot for great proven results.
