Pros

Global, large portfolio, college internships, pay

Cons

Racism is rampant and leaders who demonstrate various forms of discrimination are retained and promoted. Employee relations participates in retaliation. Additionally, less than 3% of leadership is Asian, Hispanic or African Descent so dont believe any of the accolades they pay for to be recognized for diversity and inclusion. Several minority employees have had to file grievances due to racism including being called racial slurs. From a business perspective, there are several issues across R&D, which has contributed to creating products that are no longer high quality. Leaders are not held accountable and thus, product quality will not improve. Engineers and product teams are not empowered to speak up and thus, quality issues persist though they could have been handled early in the pipeline. Furthermore, strategy does not exist and poor execution is acceptable. A potentially great company has become mediocre at best.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
