Pros

1. Improving work/life balance (vs. 3 years ago) 2. Stable business overall 3. Great co-workers. Rank & file employees still want to do-the-right-thing 4. A few good managers. Getting fewer.

Cons

1. Constant re-orgs and change in big direction. 2. Very difficult to innovate new products/ideas. Planning process == big idea killer. 3. Sr. execs only keen on building fiefdom and forwarding personal agenda. Land grab mentality. 4. Loooong promotion process.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
