Pros

Many good people (in non executive roles). Good pay and decent benefits. Recognizable global brand with a long-standing legacy

Cons

Executive leadership is stuck in an outdated UTC-era mindset — closed-door decisions, no transparency, and no clear long-term vision. After January 2025, the company quietly sidelined its publicly promoted values and culture programs. What was once emphasized is now optional or abandoned. Incredibly diloed organizational structure that discourages cross-functional collaboration and innovation. Digital, AI, and data analytics efforts are poorly executed, due to a lack of modern tools, fragmented systems, and no integration across programs. Systems don’t talk to each other, making basic analytics and automation unnecessarily difficult. Investment in product innovation and AI lags behind competitors, and there’s limited urgency to modernize. Culture feels stuck in the past. Leadeeshop doesn't seem to understand that historical success doesn’t guarantee future relevance. Employee feedback isn’t considered, and most people are treated as headcount unless they’re part of an internal favorites list. Even the most mundane program or project decisions often require multiple rounds of approval from individuals with no understanding of the subject matter, slowing progress and demoralizing teams. Employees are not empowered.
