      Once a great place to work

      Pros

      Many good people remain in the middle management ranks (but they are slowly leaving) Salary and benefits are fair, but shrinking.

      Cons

      Command and control management style. Employee turnover is increasing. Many departments are understaffed. CYA has become more important than doing what is right for the long term future of the company.

      We have a Neanderthal in charge

      Pros

      Precursor companies enjoyed a good reputation in the industry, which has not yet been destroyed. This makes finding a job elsewhere a realistic proposition. So many colleagues have left, that we now have a large ready-made external network, for job-hunting and the like.

      Cons

      CEO is taking too many micro-decisions, e.g. approving intercontinental travel. Why do we have an HR department ? Big decisions are not being taken fast enough. Senior staff are shown the door and nothing is said to the workforce. It is left to the rumour mill to spread the word. This is amateur and pathetic. Staff are left chasing ghosts.

      Pros

      Good pay; good for mid-career pros, - stability and business learning; talented mid-careers would find it comfortable; good work-life balance; limited support to learning and education and training; slow pace everything;

      Cons

      No good for youngsters - dynamic and very limited growth; people are sitting decades in interesting and challenging positions; shareholders and investors are the focus of leadership - stability on financial results and create impression they are in control; no managerial or intercultural skills on mid-manager level at all; lots of good employees are walking due to poor management mistakes; company makes the buck on operational excellence and science; front office is left un-managed at all;
