      Not a bad place for Finance or Sales professionals, but not great for marketers. Forget work/life balance.

      Pros

      Some very good people at the company, but many things declined when GE left the picture.

      Cons

      Much of senior leadership (but not necessarily the executives) is less than adequate--very insecure middle and lower senior management. Too many people leading functions they know nothing about because of the assumption that someone who can lead a finance or administrative team can lead anything. Poor knowledge in the given function leads to great insecurity for many of these leaders and makes it tougher for anyone who actually knows what they are doing. As it was with GE, Finance rules and Marketing is generally an afterthought.

      Good folks, but hard to get promoted

      Pros

      Comprehensive benefit package. Recognition of need for work-life balance. And amazingly, a very decent group of people overall. Also, career development opportunites are widely available-however, certification and training won't necessarily get you promoted-see below for details.

      Cons

      Hard to get promoted-seems to be based on who you know rather than what you can do. It appeared to me that folks were typecast and it was hard to move out of the role in which you were cast.. It really helps to be a country club golf/tennis type-that seems to be where many of the promotions are determined. Also, from an IT perspective it can be a bit of nightmare, as the company was built by acquisition. Accordingly, GNW is lousy with legacy systems that can't talk to each other.
