Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Co-workers are competent. 2. A hard-charging culture and can-do attitude 3. A good track record in gaining market share from behind

Cons

1. Ad hoc management style. Most managers are technical persons with limited managerial training, and continue to micro-manage technical decision-making. Employees have limited sense of project or task ownership 2. Limited information flow between managers and employees 3. Company culture lacks enough appreciation for work/life balance. 4. Limited opportunity for continued development, especially for senior engineers. There is a company-wide seminar series, but conference attendance is generally discouraged.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Engineering focused - Innovative culture, although this has a dark side as well (Duplication of effort and inefficiency) - Compensation higher than industry average

Cons

- Not perceived as a great place to work - Behaves like a cluster of competing business units - High inconsistency in skill level depending on business units - Needs to pay attention to employee "intangibles" -- i.e. make it a*GREAT* place to work, ala Google. - Senior management seems disconnected from reality - IT policies are a drag
