Pros

Benefits as a whole are good The 401K match is excellent There is a cafeteria and a Fitness Center at the current location Positive, friendly culture

Cons

Several jobs have been outsourced to India, Slovakia and Mexico over the last few years Several of the people let go were long-time, loyal employees who were in their 50's The office in Overland Park will relocate sometime in 2018 Rumor has it that the OP office is moving to downtown KC, where very few employees actually want to go We will most likely be losing the cafeteria and Fitness Center Senior Management encourages employees to view their career as latticework (horizontal moves) but in reality it's very difficult to move to a different department Upper management has a very Euro-centric view and is unopen to suggestions from US counterparts

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
