Pros

Corporate strategy is clear. The guardrails are set / clear as well. The how you do it is up to each business units discretion. Divisional leadership gets to run the business and push ownership and accountability down to all levels. 85 business units means lots of room for advancement / learning opportunities. Not hierarchical, no ivory tower, no politics...really lives diversity and inclusion compared to any other company I worked at.

Cons

Sometimes the business units run super lean with resources and sales / marketing spend

Potential to be good, but is a company on the downward spiral

Pros

Because of the very small engineering groups, you get to work in a lot of areas. Some very dedicated team members, usually overshadowed by managers that just don't know anything.

Cons

High up business unit managers that aren't technically knowledgeable or have university education do not have the knowledge to hire the right people. The new engineering management group doesn't have a good technical leader or a good leader of people, very hostile towards employees, treating them very badly.
