Pros

The technology is cool and ground breaking, or was, now getting a little long in the tooth. There are some great things in the Labs, but management seem to dither over what to do with it. This could be a great company again and the HQ leadership is strong

Cons

Outside of the USA the regions build empires. If your face does not fit your out, it's a very political company. Management is very numbers oriantated and this is to the detriment of long term business relationships and potentially large projects. The company is trying to be something it isn't and moving into areas outside of it's knowledge base. The new hires do not understand th ebusiness as well as they should.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
