Countrywide Financial – “It might work it might not”

Pros

It is in Southern California. I work of the Irvine office. If you really want to live in Orange County, then this company could be ideal for you. It is a laid back work environment.

Cons

Terrible communication. Lack of objective performance standards. Incompetent senior management. To get ahead at Countrywide you need to gain the favor of someone at level above you. People are promoted based on favortism and not necessarily performance.

Advice to Senior Management

Care about your employees.
