Pros

Nice group of people and the work hours are reasonable. Working hard to keep the brand relevant in the 21st century.

Cons

The company has historically under-invested in systems and over complicated the processes to get things done quickly. This is keeping the company from moving fast and being relevant.

Pros

Interesting work when you are allowed to do it without interference. Some good people at middle / lower level in the company. Offering a service that people really need.

Cons

Am I the only person to have spotted that the CEO doesn't have a clue? Revenue down, profits down, customers switching, share price collapsed, and his 'strategy' in response is to fire people and travel around the world in luxury with his personal photographer and PR exec, posting pointless stories every day. Hanging around at the Gates and Clinton Foundation meetings talking about poverty. Talking about leadership at industry forums. Really ironic given his CEO package and total lack of leadership skills.
