Company has lost its way

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance. Good leadership training opportunities

Cons

Company is being run like a private equity firm bought it. Software division has reduced focus on quality and bringing new innovations to market. Senior management more focused on offshoring jobs and replacing people with AI. Business and sales goals are often missed and senior leaders don’t take accountability and lean on layoffs and offshoring as a crutch. No incentive for employees who bring efficiency gain ideas to management. But everyone is expected to do so. Culture is becoming toxic.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to make a real impact with customers Flexibility to apply your skills across a wide range of problems Supportive, professional, and collaborative coworkers Clear goals, with room to explore and contribute beyond your core role Large organisation with diverse career paths and internal mobility

Cons

The organisation is highly matrixed and complex, partly due to different operating segments and numerous acquisitions Easy to get overcommitted due to the open, high-involvement culture As a public company, there can be a strong focus on short-term (quarterly) results Long-term strategy can sometimes be diluted by immediate business pressures
