Pros

I have been with OCLC for several years. I stay at OCLC for the following reasons: * The People - I get to work with collaborative and smart people every day. * The Culture - OCLC has always been flexible and supportive of me professionally and personally. The tag line of "you have a life, that is what we like about you" is true! It is not just words....it is part of who we are as a company! * The Benefits - OCLC has awesome benefits - from traditional medical plans to awesome retirement plans including a 401k and a defined contribution retirement plan as well as life insurance that is way above the industry standards. We are competing for talent and our benefits package reflects that! * Purpose - the reason why OCLC exists is that we ensure people have access to information no matter where they are throughout the world. As employees, we know and respect the mission and why we exist as an organization.

Cons

The pros of working at OCLC far outweigh any cons....and if you do not believe me, I would encourage you to find out more about OCLC!

Pros

The benefits, particularly the thrift plan, are good for as long as they still exist. The employees are generally smart and caring people.

Cons

Upper management is neither good nor trustworthy. To go into details would most likely violate this website's TOS. Trust them not to tell you the truth, trust them to blame you if they can save themselves for another year. Any stories you've heard about a great place to work are based on old data. That company no longer exists. While layoffs have always been a threat, employees are constantly on edge now and having the CEO tell them if they want to stay on they shouldn't make trouble does not help, to say the least If you get hired here, understand that this cannot be a long term destination. Get your experience, have an exit plan, don't get comfortable and fade into mediocrity because that is your future, and that's if you are lucky. I just want to add that everything the other reviews say about the president is true. He absolutely did mock employee responses to an opinion survey at a town hall.
