Pros
Historically this company has performed well on Wall Street. The CEO is well regarded and from what I observed seems very capable. I was very impressed with how he navigated Covid. That said, the company seems to be mainly growing and prospering by behaving more or less like a holding company. The consequences are outlined below.
Cons
They buy businesses and squeeze the life out of each new acquisition. Layoff's occur with no notice, particularly when a division is missing a quarterly target. The talent level of Sr. Leadership is woeful. No real intellectual curiosity, just a bunch of "yes men". They only focus on numbers and levy threats to subordinates if the numbers are not met. Just about every quarter you hear the refrain, "We HAVE to meet this quarterly target"- Or else. These leaders usually leave or are reassigned within 2 years. They leave their mess to their replacement who again blames the problems on those subordinates unlucky enough to stick around. There is no accountability. The layoffs, hiring freezes, and relatively low pay contribute to insufficient quality, turnover and horrible customer service. People that really care become disillusioned to believe anything will change for the better. My immediate supervisors were easily the worst I've worked for in my career. Training is non-existent and HR development for leadership is lacking. I would not recommend working for this company.
