A company full of itself

Pros

Columbus is nice. Reasonable work hours. Good working conditions.

Cons

The company relies heavily on personal relationships to make all decisions. It's not what you know but who you know to the extreme. Makes getting anything done or moving around the company problematic for an experienced new hire.

Pros

It has an open workplace; meaning that no one restricts you to use certain tools or methods to complete a project. Great work life balance. Great job security. Overall great company to work for.

Cons

There's very little guidance. No training. You have to figure it out on your own for the most part. Very little documentation. From what I've seen upper management's technical skills are very slim to none. Pay should be better. Product innovation is less than average. No free food or free laundry service provided.

Pros

When they have a good year the bonuses are good. They try to offer activities for the employees and get them engaged. Once in a while somebody sees the light and actually does something that is beneficial to the employees.

Cons

A large company with a 1960's management attitude. Methodology of the month (TQM,Six Sigma, Kaizen,...) Put a lot of stock in nebulous cost savings realized by Methodology of the month. New ideas are talked about and get no farther - nobody wants to think outside the box and take the challenge of putting things into practice, cause, hey - that might be taking a risk. Go with flow - what gets done is based on who says what, not on whether it has any technical merit or not. People are a commodity - when the business is good hire people left and right; economy is going south - fire at will! No job security unless your buddies are in upper management.
