      Incompetent management

      Pros

      People on the floor are hard working and nice to get along with. The support staff are knowledgeable and care about the facility.

      Cons

      The management staff are uneducated and are picked based on "cheerleading" capabilities and not technical merit. If you are incompetent, lack professionalism and uneducated, you are the right person for CIBA management. The employees are not encouraged to express their opinions. When they truly offer their advice, they are ridiculed as "blue collar" content and some employees have received reprimands for speaking up in public.

      Was once a great place to work

      Pros

      Family like atmosphere before being merged into a larger company. Now not a great place to be so much. Wish it could go back to the way it was.

      Cons

      Some confusion on being a big company or small company. Lots of transactions make computing environment requirements higher than most companies of the same size.
