Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.

Pros

Employees still have work until they can find some other position outside the company. Go take your expertise elsewhere if Bar and Matti don't value your career knowledge.

Cons

Layoffs are constant and hit what appears to be all teams except offshore. No raises or bonuses are now the norm. People are expected to work harder to cover those people that "left" i.e. were laid off but management refuses to admit such a thing. Influx of people from Elsevier brought in to "fix" problems have now BECOME the biggest dead weight, furtively grabbing their paychecks and hope no one notices (why are they still employed? Ask the CEO).
