Pros

Flexibilty, good culture, commitment to continuous improvement. Working for a company that has a "big" brand to has it perks- great benefits plan, sense of pride in where you work and a lot of really smart people working together towards common goals.

Cons

economic pressures (same goes for all businesses), resulting in less people doing more work = the need for continuous improvement. Another downside of a big company is (more) politics- common in anywork place. A flip side to one of my reasons for Kodak being the best place to work - flexibily- results in some people, sometimes taking advantage of that- which means other people end up picking up the slack for them.

Pros

To be fair, there are smart, capable people here, and the Kodak name still opens doors. But culture and execution matter more than branding. Without clarity, trust, and leadership engagement, even good ideas struggle. I don’t regret the experience as it was instructive. But if you’re considering joining, ask very specific questions about role boundaries, feedback cadence, and how decisions actually get made. Don’t confuse constant motion with real progress.

Cons

Working at Kodak was an eye opening experience in how large, legacy organizations try to reinvent themselves while still dragging along all the habits that made reinvention necessary in the first place. It often felt like roles were constantly shifting, ownership was unclear, and people were operating on instinct rather than alignment. There was a lot of activity, plenty of meetings, and very little agreement on who actually owned what. One colleague in particular somehow ended up doing several jobs at once. That may sound impressive, but in practice it created confusion and friction. When one person tries to be everything, it leaves everyone else in an awkward and unnecessary position.Leadership was mostly absent until it wasn’t. There was also a noticeable top down culture. Certain personalities didn’t invite discussion so much as compliance. Offering alternative viewpoints wasn’t encouraged, and collaboration tended to flow in one direction. Confidence often crossed into condescension, which made an already challenging environment harder than it needed to be.
