Pros

Peers are hardworking honest people who look out for the company far too often.

Cons

Management rules with an iron fist and does not delegate authority to anyone. Expects instant results with many narrow minded decisions made by people far away from the customers. These decisions has resulted in frequent redundancies lay-off, bad company acquisitions and finally sale of many business arms.

Pros

Good Solid products. Most of the people are very good, but not well managed!

Cons

Management has not clue on the how run or perform the job of its employee. Very H.S. like environment. People are put in place to run departments with poor leadership/management/PEOPLE skills. Poor communication from upper management.

Pros

Team of capable, smart, honest, hard-working professionals Interesting, trans disciplinary technology Opportunities to interact with leading industrial and academic groups around the globe

Cons

Principals do not understand the value of others, hire valuable experience they will not listen to, do not find value on hiring and using effectively business talents outside their skill set -many blind spots there Company and team opportunities are fumbled by not planning and placing resources based on data and facts Cult mindset product development on obscure unproven new techniques that hurts marketing and sales teams, stop marketing penetration Decisions fall in the hands of very few with no rational or due process / group analysis. On acquisition employees got admonished not to communicate with OI which limited visibility of areas for improvement No career development, chip-on-shoulder attitude by principal -no leadership skills: take full credit for team wins, blame full failure on others Below industry compensation Emergence of important number of competitors and dominance by market leader with savvier business teams
