Pros

Good benefits, good pay. Established organization that is diversified in Healthcare, Consumer Electronics, and Lighting.

Cons

Company is run by financial executives that have to cut employees regularly due to not meeting company financial goals. Employees always feel like they could be let go every year.

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.
