Pluspunten

I get a paycheck... If you're in to being a manager or "VP" you'll want to work here! We are quickly getting to the point where we have as many middle manager types as we do regular salaried employees.

Minpunten

Where to begin...Way too much middle management and all of the typical problems it brings. The company is bogged-down with processes. Processes become more important than the results (intended or unintended) of the process itself. The company is cutting to the bone and beyond with respect to "employee restructuring". This may look good on the balance sheet this quarter or next but the long-term repercussions spell disaster for this company.

Pluspunten

Great company with great work environment. Work quality of life is excellent. Good benefits and good vacation time.

Minpunten

Lots of change based on changing times. Your way of working will change somewhat at least every couple of years.

Pluspunten

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Minpunten

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
