      Still Struggling to Retain Top Talent

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent salary and good benefits Sabbatical every 6 years Pipeline focus is improving

      Cons

      Still reorganizing and consolidating job functions leading to more waves of layoffs. Cuts and reorg made without true understanding of impact to the company or to the groups that have to take on more responsibilities. Company mantra: Do more with less and do it faster and cheaper. Poor morale as an inevitable result.

      HR protects bad leaders

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brilliant people. Great benefits. Genuinely embodies the notion of work/life balance.

      Cons

      Too many leaders with lack of leadership skills propped up by HR. VPs shouldn't be learning on the job how to manage people or organizations, and yet it happens all the time. Lack of accountability and lack of decision making.
