Pros

Broad depth of an innovative product portfolio. Deep pockets for growth potential. High level of professionalism. I think there is a real desire to want to push this company forward, so the potential is certainly in place.

Cons

Too many chiefs at the helm, and an obvious gap in the communications pipeline back down to the real work force. Inconsistent messages relayed from management to the field from qtr. to qtr. (chasing numbers strategy) Poor overall morale among the sales force because of uncertainty within market, and therefore a lack of confidence in the senior management. This company seems to be a perfect example of "bigger doesnt always mean better."

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.
