Pros

Many, many good people. Not all, but many.

Cons

Absolutely no leadership. The disconnect between the 'head' and the 'hands' is so great as to be difficult to fathom. Laughable if it didn't impact hard working folks - they keep having layoffs of 'the little people' but keeping full cadre of 'executives.' Without workers, what is all that management managing/

Pros

- Great pay, great benefits, great global & cultural exposure - Great executive leadership that are truly trying to do the right thing - A lot of really great people (intelligent, personable, etc) - Great non-promotional career development opportunities if you are self-driven - Ability to land a position insisting on more experience than you might have; as long as you are a quick learner, have great people skills, and are a good cultural fit into the team dynamic - they'll take a chance on you.

Cons

- Holy POLITICS batman! Too many high level Directors with little to no knowledge of the business they are in charge of - busy managing up and neglect actually being good managers. - I haven't had a good boss yet. Every manager has been primarily self-interested and focused on promotion with absolutely no focus on the best interest of their employees career development. - Terrible talent management. I've referred 5 of of the smartest people I know to open positions with no response from HR. Lots of missed opportunities; usually results in a high-level manager bringing in his/her buddies from a past company. - Once again, POLITICS. It may be the nature of a company this size, but I have never seen more grown men in high-level positions act like such children.
