Pros
+Smart, friendly people to work with and learn from +One of the few big tech companies in Chicago +Posh, relatively new office with a recent emphasis to provide games/fun activities for employees
Cons
-Constant reminder that the competition is out-innovating -Prefers other companies disrupting its business rather than self-cannibalizing and finding ways to win -Management is very risk-averse and isn't willing to take any bold steps to win in the marketplace -Tied down by bureaucracy (e.g., HR forms/checklists, ineffective goal management program, relatively slow promotion of talent) -Lack of integrated ERP system leads to ad-hoc & ineffective report requests from middle managers who want to answer business questions -Somewhat convoluted Sales process
