Pros

Most co workers are trying to make a difference. Most co workers are trying to help each other. Some managers are trying to steer the behemoth in the right direction.

Cons

For the readers to vote on....... Board holds management feet to fire, or it is a Good Old boy's network? Management is Tactical or Strategic? Mini BUs / Silos have created efficiencies or created inefficiencies and loss of cohesion? In an election, would you vote to keep majority of directors, VPs, GM, C level executives, or oust them? If you were a hiring manager, would you hire majority of the management on your team? Is the company a collection of mini BU's doing their own thing or is ita genuinely 1 Billion dollar company? Are beenies like stock awards being confined at too hogh a level, do all desserving people get them?

Pros

Good, dedicated people at most sites. Lots of "career opportunities" due to high turnover creating a constant stream of openings.

Cons

1. Terrible leadership and management 2. Constant cost cutting without thinking about the ramifications 3. Continual acquisitions that don't get integrated properly before the next acquisition. This leads to a chaotic organization that is constantly changing. It also sparks a catastrophic clash of systems as Entegris tries to force everything into SAP in less than 12 months, regardless of the size of the company they have purchased. 4. This acquisition strategy makes the financial numbers look good when buying private companies because no one can evaluate the true synergies that were accomplished. All that is available is the picture after the acquisition, not before. But when they bought CMC, a public company, they clearly destroyed shareholder value that existed when the companies were valued separately.
