Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Eastman Kodak

Pros – Interesting projects and large base of expertise from which to gather information

Cons – Large company in massive cost cutting mode. Decisions are entirely numbers focused and senior management does not seem to have faith in the individual business units' ability to run a sustainable business over the long term.

Advice to Senior Management – Being entirely numbers focused will force many product lines to fail. This will inevitably result in outsourcing of products from competitors. This is not sustainable in the long term.

I have been working at Eastman Kodak

Pros – Kodak offers great development opportunities. They have invested a lot of time and money into my career growth and development. On the job you get exposure to state of the art business practices and fundamentals that can be transferred to any organization. The people are also great at Kodak, there are very few tyrants and ego maniacs in management. The culture is very open and honest where micro-managing is non existent.

Cons – There is a trade off in working for Kodak, you get great training but poor compensation. Another downside is being a Canadian employee, it would appear they are trying to pull all the business back to Rochester or sending it to Asia. There won't be much of a Kodak presence in Vancouver in the years to come.

Advice to Senior Management – You need to give back to the market that funds the majority of the cashflow sheet. Keep some jobs in North America!

I worked at Eastman Kodak

Pros – work-life balance is unbeatable, I worked from home and as long as I performed no one questioned how many hours I put into this job. You can be anywhere in the world doing the job as long as you are connected and available to answer the questions of others

Cons – There is a constant threat of lay-offs creates extremely low morale and employee dedication. There is no leadership in Canada with senior management just caring about getting through the day. The senior managers have no authority as all shots are called in the US (rochester)

Advice to Senior Management – more feedback, more group stuff
