Company does not accept new blood. Very hard to make friends. Employees think it is a WONDERFUL company, they have only been there so they don't know any different. It took me over 50 internal job applications to finally transfer out of one dept to go to another. No help from Human Resources, they support management not employees.

Not good at breaking into new lines of business; they know how to do manufacturing but building less tangible items, such as software, has not been mastered in their environment. Revolving door of managers. Managers make decisions without consulting business team on impact. Managers tend to only talk amongst themselves without taking into account the knowledge and experience of other team members. During annual reviews, it is very hard to be recognized for going above and beyoned because the team setting your evaluation numbers does not know you. Conversely, poor performance is allowed for far too long before it is addressed, creating teams with long-term weak links.
