Pros

Fantastic colleagues, performance driven, competitive benefits, friendly environment, challenging opportunities that bring valuable experiences.

Cons

Painfully segmented with inability to change, terrible approach to innovation, which squelches organic growth, top line sales increases driven by price increases well beyond justified, excellent sales people taking market share from competition, and acquisition of companies with similarly stagnated technology. Upper management is void of creative thinkers, who are completely disengaged, controlled by internal politics. Middle and senior managers are moved from one role to another so often, that a culture of being a “jack of all and master of none”, has become pervasive. As a result, cost cutting by the mentality that “any cog in the wheel” is replaceable, has become the operational mentality. The company is run by risk averse accountants, who will never understand innovation or dynamic decision making in a fast moving world.

Pros

Not much to says that is good.

Cons

The company is not committed to making sure their employees are treated fairly. They have a globe code of ethics but if you make a report the team handling the ethics will notify management and they'll reliate and start writing you up for anything just to get rid of you. They tell you that they're surveys are anonymous but they aren't anonymous. The EEOC needs to investigate the company it's terrible.
