Pros

Strong Mission; Great products Wonderful pedigree & reputation

Cons

1) Succession of management changes have made the company extremely inwardly focused. Hardly anyone is focused in the customer. 2) Too many internal meetings with people's competence is being judged by their ability to present PowperPoint charts that talk a good game but have no substance. 3) Product pipeline has been talked up heavily but there is hardly any new innovation 4) Too many layers of management slow down decisions. Also burdens with costs 5) HR practices lack transparency - usually biased towards known elements

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

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.
