Pros

Good pay. Great legacy employees that care about each other. Good-to-great products. Significant incentive plan for highly compensated employees. One was given a 15% bonus for hitting every goal for the year. He was laid off, but got the bonus anyways.

Cons

Management is expected to work very long hours. Individuals are incented to take as much team credit for their own as possible, to avoid being on the annual list of terminated employees. Managers are rewarded for being tough and punishing more than for mentoring. There is a general sense of fear of losing one's job if a mistake is made or perceived to have been made.

Pros

The leaders in each business unit have a good grasp on their business and competition. When they share the strategy at quarterly meetings I find it helpful and compelling.

Cons

This is a good example of a business unit carved out to be a stand-alone company where Product Managers are running a company. It is clear that how shared functions are used and the level of respect for their function is not important nor utilized effectively from a whole company perspective. Areas like Purchasing, Regulatory, and HR have to almost beg to have senior leaders listen and get their back. At the end of the day, the reaction is to go out and hire an external consultant-and maybe one that is not skilled with that function. Nice people (most) but not systems thinkers- at least not what the average joe employee sees.

Pros

You can find jobs here as the turn over driven by performance management makes this happen. Great exposure to a regulated business in Multinational markets. So great individuals to work with.

Cons

Leadership is not good from the top down. The tone of the company is set from Senior management which does not value, trust or treat employees fairly at any level. The values written on the walls are for everyone except senior management and they prove that daily. Also company is looking too short term. Need some leadership that is there and knows how to grow a business and not manage a quarterly Margin.
