Good company if you work for a good boss.

Business Outlook

Pros

Old company with decent pay. Steady employer. If you screw up - they will still keep you on a lower performance pay but will not take proactive steps to do anything!

Cons

Dog eat dog world in the Corporate IT world. Some of the sr. managers have no clue on what they are doing. They are there because of relationships with Directors and so forth. They have no idea on how to manage the team. No long range planning, no insights. With new culture values, seems like everyone is doing their own thing. Commercial is better

Pros

Great products to work on and some very passionate marketing staff. Over the years, patient focus has increased significantly which really helps drive and motivate across the organization.

Cons

Organization is fragmented and often not aligned to the same goals. There is high amount of individuals that are willing to lie, talk behind backs to create divisions. It can often be a very hostile environment despite all working towards the same goal and for the same company? After working for two other Fortune 500s, this is my first experience of this level of hostility and division between departments. The new behaviors seem to outline the right direction, but there's lack of accountability around these measures.
