Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is close to a top fortune 500, since i come from those previous assignment. Good product technologies, some smart people, well integrated organization, hence get global perspective on matter. Company has good potential to grow from its current base.

Cons

Being a global flat matrix reporting structure, it leads to conflicts. Less managerial assignments more individual contributor roles in the offering, manager can make or break the career, hence wise to be clear on what role, which manager under which you are opting / asked to work / join.

Solid Company, Good Performance, Opportunities to Grow - Great Benefits!

Productivity director

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is challenging, always a wide variety of projects to work on that have a direct impact on the companies performance. The people are friendly and willing to help you succeed. The benefits are the best I have seen - a defined benfit plan for retirement and a 6% match on 401K, many heathcare options, at some sites on site heath care nurses/doctors.

Cons

The challenges of work life balance working in a global interconnected company - there is a need to stay connected and be on conference/video calls late in the eveings or very early in the mornings.
