Pros
Pay is slightly above average, and for the best 20% of people it is significantly more. They get shares and become owners. There is ample education, and ample opportunity to learn, and even those systems are definitely being work on, finally. Our ideas are sought and actually drive much of the company's direction.Weget to make many strategic decisions by democratic process.
Cons
Some departments get complacent, bureaucratic, better-than. When that happens, Patrick moves new management in, or recreates an alternative version of the department to be managed by someone new. Those who do not get what the program used to get cajoled and pleaded with to change. Now, they are sidelined, and as things get built around them, they get sore. Many leave, in time, and write, I believe, the nasty notes here.That is one of the worst parts of working here: learning about all the bitter ex`employees who cannot move on, and go to support groups.
