Pros

Some really good people (although too many have been downsized) Decent salary, benefits + vacation Flexible work environment (hours, telecommuting, etc.) Current CEO (Muhlhauser) seems passionate about turning things around Free parking

Cons

Lousy salary increases, if at all (too many salary freezes over the years) Short term thinking, indecision, constantly changing plans. Attrition of experienced people (voluntary and involuntary) Insufficient resources to perform effectively The Americanization of the company culture (too many people who thrive on flash but no substance) Erosion of teamwork over the years (now it's about CYA and pointing fingers) Too much movement of responsibilities to unskilled low-cost geographies Bad IT infrastructure (very fragmented)

Pros

- Great opportunities to work on large scale accounts and divy up into new verticals and markets. - Great teams and sincere hardworkers

Cons

- too much politics precluding you from moving through projects and too many half baked ideas - HQ corporate teams are extremely rigid to work with. Marketing and SC teams in particular.
