Pros

+ Products have strong reputation + Colleagues + Sustainability a key focus

Cons

- Poor leadership, led by a CEO who thinks the key to innovation lives and dies with Lean, not an engaged workforce where people feel cared for - A fear culture ruled by hierarchic bureaucracy - A disgraceful lack of care for its people from start to finish - a shockingly poor onboarding experience + non-existent offboarding - A refusal to adapt; the CEO's "my way or leave" mentality re: flexible work post-COVID is a great example of not listening to feedback - People are terrified of making mistakes (so a simple email has to go through a six-point approval process before it's sent out) - Great employees are overworked and on the brink of burnout - The employee NPS is a sham - departments know that if they give low scores, they will be targeted as a low-performing team so everyone just gives inflated scores even though their opinion of the company is a 2 not a 9 - There is no room for diversity of opinion and no motivation to take risks and innovate - There is nothing, NOTHING, fun about working at Signify with zero emphasis on team building or social interaction and no attempts to facilitate this during COVID-19

Pros

Great Benefits. bag on micro management, usually low. Good departmental teamwork

Cons

Silo-strategy, with departments and sectors setup as segregated, causes reactionary decision making rather than smart proactive progression in improvement initiative buy-in. Inter-departmental LEAN thinking can be challenging.
