Pros

A good mix of employees with which to interact and learn.

Cons

Corporate management is disconnected from what is happening at other sites. HR personnel are involved in management of areas of which they have no knowledge. Resources are constrained and employees are expected to make it work.

Pros

Strong values, good products, good people, stable company, increasingly performance/result oriented

Cons

Unclear roles & responsibilities in the complex matrix organization makes decision making slow, BD is quite risk averse but slowly getting better. Innovation and creativity not embedded in the culture. Quite short term thinking.
