      Spending 30 years unthinkable

      Engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Potential to keep learning. Multidisciplinary.

      Cons

      Joined the company excited to indulge in curiosity and now completely mistrustful of the prevailing organizational culture. Plenty of egomaniacs lowering the bar for everyone else. Behind the facade of "Minnesota nice" is a world of self-centeredness being expressed via passive aggression. I don't know when it got this way, but smart people out there.. don't let your capabilities wither away. Thrive elsewhere.

      Pros

      Cons

      Too many cost reductions and reorganizations Many excellent people left the company over the last 2 year Unreliable HR (Belgium)- playing games with people Belgium and German management took over The Netherlands but destroyed the Dutch organization and culture.

      Male dominated company using diversity as window dressing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people and technology, good opportunities to learn and grow. Competitive pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Male dominated culture. Lots of clicks, managers promote their buddies. Mid-level managers have giant egos and are not afraid to sabotage female and minority employees if their egos are threatened. Upper level management either are clueless or prefer not to do anything about the abuses.
