Pros

Some good people Good operations/supply chain Some new executive appointments seem to be a move in the right direction Depending on role work/life balance is pretty good (few people put in more work than they have to)

Cons

Very slow and conservative. Always behind competition in product development Short term planning. Only thing that matters is this quarter's numbers Lack of overall strategy. Company is run as a loosely aligned set of individual business units. CEO is a poor leader who does not 'do' strategy Lack of career opportunities Very political Cost cutting and job cuts have damaged morale

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
