Pros
Great people (when they are not being riffed), and a lot of good managers, great amount of time off including company closes down last week of the year. Loved the IT folks and the Hub. Made it easy to go to when there were laptop or other IT based issues.
Cons
Hard to get approval on projects, many meetings are all out of a normal work day, Poland has no problem setting up a 4-6 hour meeting starting at 2AM CT, instead of compromising on both ends of work day. Way too many meetings and not enough time to do actual job. If meetings can't be found within the 8-12 and 1-5 time frame, then they schedule over lunch which for most is more about breathing room adn catching up on email. A lot of shifting of teams causing churn. Lay-offs happen once to twice year and have so for well over 20 years. Most are not merit but for cost savings ie: senior experienced employees. Present ceo is only there to clean house and will to blame for more than expected people leaving above the over 1100 let go back in May. He and his newest c-level minion need to stop blaming the better c-level people who were let go. S Menke was a decent ceo, but KE is awful, only there for the kill.
