Pros

Great people in the trenches performing the day-to-day work. Sense of teamwork. Good benefits.

Cons

Non-transparent management. Managers only give lip service to employee engagement and performance trumps strategy. Hit the numbers or hit the road mentality. Your IDP is given lip service with no help by managers to get to you to your career goal. Stagnant company that is not positioned to move forward and be profitable. HR is not your friend. IT is way behind the times. Company says they are competitive, but proof is in the numbers 3 to 5 years from now. High performers are not recognized or rewarded.

Pros

Still have deep pockets and some level of corporate clout -- not what it once was and declining every day

Cons

The Swiss/Germans are inflexible ego maniacs and as a result their management style is not yielding (and all underlings must be yes-men). This approach is OK when all is well but when things go wrong -- they double down on their faulty thinking (because they cant be wrong). This eventually leads to wholesale management changes, instability and a miserable experience for all involved (employees and customers).

A perfect place to keep expanding the global boys club

Pros

Global and has the ability to be great

Cons

They cover up diversity issues with "public" awards, there is such little diversity that the US management team tries to cover it by inviting the same few diverse people to internal & external meetings - it's all a facade. Since the North American Executive team drove the US business off the cliff, the boys club will do anything to justify their existence driving unfair hiring practices from the oustide and from within the organization. While the Schaumburg team sits in their brand new shiny office space - while other employees are sitting on top of each other or don't even have a place to sit because of overcrowding because of consolidated office spaces to save $.
