Pros

Every employee I worked with was intelligent, hard working and cared about his or her job performance. Most (non-represented) employees are given a "long leash" to learn and grow professionally.

Cons

Due to the high debt it's carrying, the company is headed for bankruptcy. This means few raises and even fewer opportunities internally for growth. Most employees work long hours. The company talks about employees achieving a Work-Life Balance but it's just talk. The company is so large that "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" (poor internal communication). No training department.

Pros

Company still have some technology left. Wish the owner can sell for a good price.

Cons

- too many people pretending to work but lip services more than real result - too many re-org in a short time, all employees are looking for opportunity outside - company culture has too much bad influence from GE - almost all senior management are finance guys, no one really knows silicone industry and doesn't care about the industry development at all - dragging too long in switching from regional focus to SBU focus...however the transition is a total failure! Both powers are still fighting that make the front-line people completely exhausted - 100% financial driven...never care about product leadership, service excellency and customer intimacy! - management only use never-ending meetings, reviews and computer systems to manage the employees so that smart employees only use spreadsheets, charts, powerpoints and bluffing speech to keep their job - management have blind faith on numbers and metrics but never have an integrated picture and understanding of the whole business. ..well, in fact, it is common for all USA MBA - morale, ethics, discipline and atmosphere are horrible in the work place...no mutual trust between management and employees at all... - although there are so many check-and-balance in the operating system, integrity issue is serious in MPM because employees feel no future in this company
