SPSS – “Solid place to work”
Pros
Industry leader, well defined roles and expectations, good benefits, professional environment.
Cons
Internal systems and processes are implemented without regard to the impact across the organization and impedes individual performance.
Advice to Senior Management
Be more careful about the type of executive level people you bring on. A few hired 4 years ago were in over their heads and were only concerned with presenting a glorified view of the organization to Jack and the board. Hopefully that has changed with recent hires after I left.
