Pros

The company itself is very stable and provides their employees with great benefits. The company also has great senior leadership and culture.

Cons

As with any large company, there are always a few drawbacks. Some of the major drawbacks occurred while I was still employeed there. Most of the changes and issues originated with the company streamlining their business, which of course is practical, however there were times when an employee would few less valuable and more like an expendable business unit.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid mission with great overall benefits package in a global multi-business unit organization that offers growth in a fast paced environment. A large number of the managers did not start in leadership roles.

Cons

The organizational structure is matrixed resulting in solid line, dotted line relationships that are not always effectively managed. Top/down communication is not stellar. Technology is slow moving for an organization of this size. Multiple reductions/outsourcing with more to come based on performance (the focus of the cuts not merit based)
