      Terrible Culture

      Pros

      I made great friends during my time at Allison and gained a lot of professional experience.

      Cons

      The CEO is a tyrant and literally every decision made at Allison is based on avoiding his wrath. The culture is terribly unsupportive of working women and my experience was just a shade shy of what I would describe as outright gender discrimination. In leaving Allison I learned that a strong performer can find challenge, respect and flexibility at work. Work can actually be pleasant. I regret staying at Allison as long as I did.

      Culture of helplessness

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You get vacation days and then get mandated to take at least 4 of them during the annual summer shutdown. There is an annual employee meeting with free cookies and a comparison of GMAT scores. The stock ownership plan has made about a dozen people quite wealthy but regular people don't get the benefit of any of it. Quite diverse especially in executive ranks where there are white people, males and even white males. White female executives get titles like Managing Director or Executive Director. Only one white female is a VP. You can get noticed at the highest level especially your swipes in and out of the building.

      Cons

      An abject feeling of helplessness permeates the company and culture. It is also a culture of bullying. The most senior of managers berate and bully any chance they get and the company in general bullies its customers and suppliers. People are leaving left and right because of it and customers and suppliers have had enough of it. I suspect that even higher level managers know its bad but they feel helpless because of the way things are run.
