Pros
- Good pay and benefits at director level and above - Opportunities for professional growth if aligned with the right project/people - Possible to maintain life/work balance - Employees value pleasant work environment/cooperation
Cons
- Core business profitability is in decline and company responding primarily through expense management - transferring domestic jobs to Central America and Eastern Europe. Innovation bought through acquisition rather than in-house development. If you are involved in offshoring or acquisition projects, this can be a very interesting place to work. Unfortunately most employees are in operational or support roles and a lot of them find this environment very unpredictable and feel uncertain about their job security. - A lot of time and money is expended annually to communicate a vision and set company wide objectives and values aligned with achieving that vision. Regrettably, senior management seem unable to maintain a consistent vision year after year (or even in the same year) and company values are often not demonstrated from the top down. - Employees interested in being excellent at their work and achieving goals that seem beyond their reach are often frustrated by the levels of bureaucracy, organizational silos, and lack of accountability. If you're interested in keeping busy, but not getting anything done of significance, this could be the place for you!
