Pros

Large footprint, a big international company

Cons

Never-ending reorgs, layers of middle management—VPs, Senior Directors, and Directors—are busy managing up and securing their jobs. They have no idea about the teams that were brought together under them, so solid performers have been laid off over the past three years.

Pros

Most of the people (minus V.P. level leadership on up). Stock price, Stock options, the industry

Cons

1.More layers of useless leadership than needed. the phrase "I have no idea what that person does" is uttered at least once a week 2. The leadership team is never held accountable for poor performance, We are never asked for feedback on them while our annual reviews are very detailed and truly affect our $$$ raises (if you want to call it that) each year. 3. The silos are made of metal and non movable. It takes more signatures and approvals than a mortgage application to get something day. "better to leave i the say it is....." is the motto, 4. The company values are just words with no meaning. 5. Narcissism is the #1 quality of the majority of the leaders of the company. Give thema stage and they'll do great, but speak with them 1 X 1 and its like talking to a statue. 5. "why" is a four letter word there. don't ask why we do something that way in the hopes of changing things. lay low and watch the show
