Business Outlook
Pros
- The people working at the business unit levels are great even if a bit trauma bonded - Corporate has a couple of gems in the C-Suite even if surrounded by blind loyalists holding on to not get cut before the IPO payout
Cons
- Below industry pay at all levels for the size of business - Silent layoffs and restructures at least 1-2 times per year - People are stressed, and employee engagement scores are abysmal, even in groups with good leaders, because no one sees a career path or rewards and hasn't for years.
