      Great in the beginning but starting to forget to focus on the customer and looking internal too often

      Pros

      Some of the best people in the industry, good products most of the time and large scale allows to to get the job done.

      Cons

      R&D getting too focused on there KPIs not what the market wants, slow decisions and much more politics - making us miss markets and opportunities. Start to loose the wrong people.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      the people are innovative, creative, energetic, compassionate. The culture promotes giving back in many forms. The breadth of product makes many future possibilities exciting. Senior management are good human being. They are intelligent, experienced and compassionate. The culture is so open that I have never even heard of employee being turned away when they requested to meet with anyone in the company. The energy in the place is incredible. You want to work hard and be creative because of the people and opportunity around you. Having to write one hundred words for this thing is ridiculous. I almost stopped writing a while back

      Cons

      compensation package. Lack of HR processes, systems and people. HR has not been adequately staffed since 2001. Managers have little training or support to become good people managers. International assignments are very few and far between but not having done an international assignment can be a barrier to success. When employees do go on international assignment, their pay and taxes are general screwed up for years. When it is time for them to return to their home country they are on their own to find a job and generally viewed as if they are returning from a long vacation. Chambers is a focal point with no succession plan.
