Slow and difficult decision making process. The company runs very lean, and most people are expected to do two people's jobs. Weak culture. Not a motivating place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

good financial performance, Fortune 200, sounds good, fairly good benefits, 401K, medical insurance and so on

Cons

management team too disconnected with actual business operations, overall this company doesn't understand about organic growth, their strength is acquisition. They are going through a major consolidation at the moment, reducing the 800 business units down to 150 or so. Huge layoffs, that's why they were able to show such good financial performance last year. However the whole company is very short term driven. and the cross functional communication is very bad. people work in silos. finger pointing and sabotage happens every day, no team building, very low morale.
