Pros
- The senior leadership team has been in places for several years, creating credibility with shareholders and the marketplace - Generally speaking, the workforce is passionate and easygoing - There's a significant number of opportunities across the company, making it possible to move around both geographically and functionally
Cons
- Executive compensation creates a real difference between top execs and the rest of the workforce, resulting in a hierarchical culture - The company is very consensus driven, which causesdecisions to happen slowly. If you operate in the lower levels, you may feel that you are handcuffed by the people above needing to "weigh-in" on everything - The company doesn't foster a strong internal culture - creating so-so morale. Some groups do a better job than others, but on the whole, you don't feel connected to your co-workers outside of your immediate work group.
