Business Outlook

Pros

Work at home; some excellent people employed. Better alignment of functional areas, but still behind in product management delivering global solutions.

Cons

Difficult to escalate criticism despite company values encouraging an open forum without retaliation. HR is allied with executive and upper management, not employees.
