Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Eastman Kodak full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Unlimited PTO, long company history, large facilities, company events frequent
Cons
Upper Management has no strategy, mid level managers are hit or miss, projects can be assigned last minute, the company is constantly out of money so your pay won't be awesome, not a lot of growth opportunity
Advice to Management
Upper management, listen to your middle managers. You hired them to lead their divisions on purpose. Middle Managers please communicate with other middle managers. Often Upper managers are not looking at projects but just numbers and it leads to hard situations for their workers

Pros
Easy work, little to no discipline or structure or leadership from management means you can pretty much do as you please. Decent compensation
Cons
- Company outlook is not good right now. Jeff Clarke hasn't done much better than his predecessor with respect to stock performance - For some reason Kodak seem hell bent on hiring sub par executive talent, recruiting Steven Overman who's last accolade was shutting the lights off at Nokia as that ship sunk -Clarke has hired a bunch of sub par managers under him with credentials that read more like a graveyard of now...

The senior leadership team has dogged Kodak for years. Rather than finding well established and well credentialed leaders - they've stuck with a combination of Rochester leftovers who have been reassigned from one division to the next year after year, and incoming execs who don't understand the core business at all

Good People, Good Technology, Failing Business
StarStarStarStarStarDoesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Eastman Kodak full-time for more than 20 years
Pros
I work with many good people - both technically competent and pleasant to work with. The inkjet technology is unique and should stand to be profitable.
Cons
As film declined Kodak continually shrank and struggled to adapt. It has been unable to make substantial profits and is threatened by heavy debt. Continuous layoffs destroy morale and devalue the company in the eyes of customers. The future is very uncertain.
