Pros

Great people especially at non-management level. Products and mission you can believe in.

Cons

Poor communication/ management transparency. Reactive, rather than proactive approach to resolving quality issues, despite being a large, well-resourced company. Lower level employees in manufacturing underpaid and overlooked. No flexibility (no concept of work/ life balance).

Great internal talent, always openings for internal candidates, good processes and training.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
