Pros

Challenging roles, individual development, smart and talented co-workers, well-known brands and some very strong leaders.

Cons

Recognition and advancement are based less on performance and results and more on relationships and style. Work and communication style is a very important factor in your "success". Alignment and efficiency are also weaknesses in parts of this organization.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
