Pros

The company has a wide breadth of products and services that leverages technology. It's a global company that brings some value to the market. People are mostly pleasant although passive.

Cons

They tried to educate marketing on basic planning and business principles but that didn't work. Problematic leadership on the group level, e.g. Healthcare. There is an ironic lack of business acumen skill predominantly in the higher ranks (director to C-level) but often excellent business acumen on the lower ranks (manager or lower). A lot of internal business conflicts and redundancies prevail, leading to high cost of operations.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
