Pros

Decent Benefits Might be a good entry level company

Cons

No real strategy for growth other than shuffling around current business units Very poor in managing acquisitions Does not generate IP at a rate that could be considered innovative No commercial focus Apathetic management or management by uninformed opinion The business systems are fragmented and a joke They have good people and acquired some promising technologies, but do not manage them well Unwilling to take reasonable risks to grow new businesses Wrong people in wrong roles Regionalism that creates barriers to work globally No ownership of responsibility, pass the buck mentality Yes I could go on.....

Pros

The front line employees are the strength and backbone of the Exelead site. Coworkers are hard working and try their best given the unfair treatment they receive. It is truly amazing to see employees who resign receive a higher salary and better working conditions when they leave.

Cons

The leadership team and mangers all have a secret cabal of corruption and incompetence. The business keeps losing clients and money to more competitive companies and refuses to evolve and invest the right capital to stimulate organic growth. Most of the Leadership team operates in a vacuum and you rarely see them out on the floor or interacting with frontline. A significant blame culture and lack of empathy and respect for workers have caused key talent look elsewhere. The site has been in the red for years with no active plans to improve, invest, or make changes. Headcount has frozen and staff is asked to operate at 100% with only 25-50% of the staff. All the signs of a site closure are right in everyone’s faces yet they keep lying to everyone. The clients are not coming and it’s only a matter of time.

Pros

Great benefits, maternity leave, paternity leave, disability etc. The education pay of 10K a year is amazing, but you do have to stay another year once you graduate. If you're lucky enough to get one, they do have a mentor program, but it might take you three tries to find a mentor. In certain areas, they are doing great, but just be wary of the lab/position (if it sounds new).

Cons

A lot of drama in certain areas... especially spots where people are still in the same position because they don't want to move up or can't. You can be stuck on the same team for 5 years without an end in sight.
