      Culture is evolving -- much more draconian around cost management

      Pros

      The executives were down to earth, low ego

      Cons

      Decentralized culture can be hard to navigate. Focus is more on cost and downsizing now -- do more with less. Cutting into the muscle. Is is sustainable?

      Opportunity for career advancement but no work/life balance.

      Pros

      Lots of training and opportunities to learn new things. Great benefits. Great company for new grads because they will be given more freedom and will not be held to the same standards as longer tenured employees.

      Cons

      Management changes course...FREQUENTLY. A top project today may be dissolved in 6 months. You have to be adaptable but sometimes too much change at once is difficult to recover from. The restructuring does not appear to have been planned well. Some facilities have become ghost towns. Picking a divisional HQ, that isn't equipped to be a HQ, because the GM is based there...not exactly forward thinking.

      Enterprise strategy is destroying day-to-day business

      Pros

      Good benefits. Until the restructuring started, great management team and great colleagues to work with. If you're a college graduate, great opportunity because you'll get preferential treatment over everyone else--with no accountability.

      Cons

      Since restructuring started, most are uncertain if they will have a job in a month, even upper management. The environment is very untrusting, in fighting between departments and very frustrating to get day-to-day things accomplished because no one will make a decision. Every little thing has to be approved by several people. All authority has been removed from middle management.
