Pros

Great people, collaborative atmosphere, high quality products, respected brands.

Cons

Weak management. Too many new executives who are friends of the CEO but don't understand the Cranes business. Strategy is to shrink the company to success; not very inspiring. Too many capable committed employees have been laid off due to leadership missteps. I would discourage people from joining this company.

Great company to work for. The IT department was very effective and strategic! Very strong leadership with a global vision. IT leadership took input from it's employees and was good about communicating the strategy and roadmap to the team. IT was able to add strong value to the business and was recognized as a valuable partner! There were always opportunities to prove ones self and to learn newer technologies.

Cons

The business leadership has changed it's strategy/vision on more then one occasion.
