Pros

A very large company with good pay and stability, until recently. A professional consistent office setting. Many departments create opportunities for mobility. The right manager or department can make a big difference.

Cons

Products never get released. Lack of communication and sharing of ideas and information. Opaque management. Lot of whispering and secrets. Maintaining older technology that no one uses anymore. A feeling that employees don't matter because the company is so large. Innovation is not rewarded. Lip service about corporate culture is not accompanied by action. You feel like you just punch the clock to collect a paycheck. Upper management was consistently brought in from outside the company or in other divisions. The company suffers from a cast system where you are ignored by those on a higher level. The work day can be filled with a long stressful silence.

Pros

Cardinal hires great people, offers competitive compensation and benefits packages, and encourages career development and community involvement. With tens of thousands of employees internationally, the opportunities to move vertically and horizontally are plentiful, as long as you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Management seems to be more concerned with process than the results in recent times. Unattainable goals are often set, comp and quota are released too far into the fiscal year, and the micromanagement is discouraging.

Pros

Name recogition in the industry.

Cons

Mgmt is completely non supportive and ineffective in the Finance department. Also HR is in Ohio and if you have an issue you get to call an 866 # and talk to people who know nothing about CA law.
