Business Outlook
Pros
the people are great: caring, supportive, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. pay and benefits can be good in the right departments and roles.
Cons
job security is poor. there's often hints of promotions which never come to pass. there's a constant focus on cutting costs, this is needed partly because the company's previous boom times meant there wasn't the need, but with the world economy, and a breakaway group of shareholders wanting to milk the cash cow, cost cutting (jobs) has become a way of life. there's a disconnect between the highest tiers of management and their corporate waffle, and the people doing the work; lots of aspirational statements which basically translate to "work harder, faster, cheaper".
