Pros

I have a job to go to

Cons

Where do I start? 1. They continue to layoff thousands of US employees to save a buck. Let's move them to Krakow. No, to Mumbia! It's cheaper! Yet, they have no problem spending $10m on an HR system that has no real value and already have a system that can do what the new system does. 2. The CEO acts like a rock star. Note to CEO: Read Good to Great. It will not last and it is not sustainable 3. The CEO is ADD. The guy has 15 ideas a day and wants them implemented 4. They are on a 'diversity' kick. Problem is, it's all for show. They do not live it, practice it or project it.
