A decent job that got a little worse each year

Business Outlook

Pros

Worked with a few great people, pay was competitive. Was given fairly free reign with minimal micromanagement, which is sensible for employees that are self-motivated. It was close to home, which was really all I liked about it.

Cons

Layers of escalation for issues, to the point where "War Level" is supposed to be taken seriously. Supported the belief that having management included on an email or getting upset somehow solves a problem. Rife with nepotism and cronyism, and most promotions I saw were for employees I was shocked had their job to begin with.

Pros

Interesting product lines if you can find the right business to work in.

Cons

Terrible management, lack of any support or concern for employee needs. The CEO of the company talks a great game but it never translates into innovation or product quality.

NO LOGICAL DECISIONS; continual changes were designed so upper management could justify their jobs.

Pros

If you are in the right department the treatment is probably fair; but overall every department is under immense pressure to perform outside and beyond the expectations of yesterday.

Cons

So many divisions of a global company; all with conflicting rules; so much confusion and little cooperation between departments; self preservation prevented information sharing. Every day was like re-inventing the wheel with no follow through on great ideas. Conference calls with Corporate always had technical difficulties; contributing to a lack of motivation to get involved. Insecure management breeds insecure employees.
