Pros

Products with a meaningful purpose. Attention for environment and wellbeing. Quality focus.

Cons

Focus on quality by procedures resulting in a very complex organisation and way of working and with less focus on cross functional efficiency. KPI's resulting in a tension model between functions and not leading to positive collaboration and efficiency.

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.
