Pros

Pros? If there has to be any, it would be the benefits as they are in place merely to ATTEMPT to make up for their version of offering a "competitive salary"

Cons

Cons? Where do I begin? If your looking to work hard and without being rewarded, compensated or even slightly acknowledged, this is the place to be... Great place for the investors to open up their checkbooks though... thankfully the board has no idea what REALLY goes on in the company... Internal values... HA... Collaboration 2.0... what an absolute joke. Nice try though, those town meetings... transparent and absolute utter BULL

A Company that LOVES COMPLEXITY

Pros

You will meet some awesome people who will help you network into your next job, can use as a reference, and can all laugh together as you get forced into processes that someone got a high-five/promotion for that created an additional, unnecessary headache for the masses. The benefits are at par, and honestly, a big draw for someone trying to support a family that can stand the same awful corporation their parents generation complained about. The hours can be reasonable if you end up on the right team.

Cons

This company loves to over-complicate the simplest of tasks, heck, it's in their tagline. If you enjoy meeting fatigue, decisions made by large committees, and never getting anything meaningful done as you coast into retirement, then this is the place for you. It's old technology, trying new things, and as much as they want to be cutting-edge, they are just a big engine that can't. If you're a woman, there are little to no opportunities for you to grow and flourish, and that's easy to spot on their leadership page and the pass-ups on promotions. It’s an old boys club. Meeting fatigue at its finest - constant check-ins, reporting, and internal marketing for your own efforts that are wasted on what could actually be done to improve the business. If you calculated the hours wasted on unnecessary powerpoints to internal teams vs. what could have been done in the field, this company could actually grow rapidly. It's obvious this old company wants to show results to entertain investors, but they spend more time on that than getting meaningful results.

Pros

Very friendly coworkers Fairly supportive coworkers Good pay (initially, getting a raise is a much different story)

Cons

Overly critical management Lack of appreciation Management offered very little support in the way of advice or resources Management often forgot to follow up on projects and then threw employees under the bus Management sent inconsistent and often contradictory messages to employees Excessive overtime Poor employee moral, which became pretty depressing after a while

Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear about your felt lack of support. It is important that employees feel supported and heard in their jobs. We promote a culture of resonant leadership, and are in the process of rolling out organizational development and management training programs to support and drive that type of leadership across the company globally?
