Pros

Friendly, intelligent colleagues Competitive starting salaries Management receptive to employee feedback, although action is not always taken Ranks high on the Equality Index Brand recognition

Cons

Slow moving (as with most large companies) although certain groups are more progressive than others Terrible office environments - the interior design of the buildings is outdated and does not encourage collaborative nor creative work in any way Lack of "fresh blood" to help stimulate new ideas

Do not ignore glassdoor reviews they are very accurate for this company, I ignored them and learned my lesson.

Business Outlook

Pros

1.) Good work/life balance. 2.) Close to public transportation.

Cons

1.) The majority of management is not qualified for the positions they hold. 2.) As a result of #1 Kodak hires people for critical non-management positions who are clearly not qualified, incompetence is pervasive. 3.) Everything from management policies to product code bases are a total mess. No one can clearly tell you what the process is for deploying software upgrades, what the QA process is for product lines, and management has no clue about the software development life-cycle or how to apply it to their product lines. 4.) It was very clear from the first day I started the job Kodak has every intention of outsourcing all of their development work to Israel and China they just haven't worked out how to do it yet for some divisions. If you are hired as a software developer for Kodak, you are only a stop gap until they outsource your job. I was fortunate enough to find other employment but I would have been better off not working there at all.

Pros

Many great peers Some cool technologies - current and upcoming Strong brand recognition (strong can be good or bad) Global presence

Cons

Internally focused - more time spent on meetings vs. customer-facing Political culture - more emphasis on saying the "right" thing vs.open and unfiltered discussions Cut, cut, cut - relentless cost cutting has gone very deep- affecting customer shipments, R&D, service
