      Headed the Wrong Way

      Pros

      - There are some kind, genuine, smart people there. Co-workers become friends. Half the people still live and exhibit the original values of the company.

      Cons

      - The majority of those kind, smart, genuine people are individual contributors just waiting for the other shoe to drop. - Need to be quicker to market and leaner in core functions resulting in loss of jobs and terrible work environment. - Not just lack of career opportunities, lack of career continuity. Majority of internal jobs do not go to most qualified candidate. Age old tale of trading knowledge and experience for cheaper and lesser quality. - So many re-orgs in a short amount of time left knowledge gaps and broken processes all over the place. - Can't get out of it's own way. Engineering company, over-engineering everything but dropping the ball on the fundamentals of getting a product to market.

      Pros

      Good salary, mostly good people

      Cons

      Old boy club, not for women. Mostly lifers waiting for retirement. They take care of each other. Very unfair treatment if you aren,t an old boy. Unreasonable schedules, every man for himself mentality. Jobs going offshore to Mexico.

      Pros

      None. Run away. I am. They've laid many people off and any chance of growth has disappeared. Anyone who has talent will be leaving if they haven't left already.

      Cons

      The executives just play games. They change their minds all the time and use whatever business book happens to be popular for their logic. Hearing them talk is like listening to a bunch of seven year olds. They are more interested in getting ahead in the reorg or having more reorgs than in supporting their people to create great products. Discrimination is prevalent. The location is in the middle of nowhere and the company is too cheap to have a shuttle run to the commuter rail station. And the parking is unreliable. Some days you'll have to take a shuttle to the parking lot if your at their main location.
