Pros

Their vision is good however they are behind GE.

Cons

Company does not support or backup Managers. Allows upper management to bully managers. Went to HR and HR went to manager and told them who said what, therefore no trust in HR or Upper Management.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
