Pros

1.) Good work/life balance. 2.) Close to public transportation.

Cons

1.) The majority of management is not qualified for the positions they hold. 2.) As a result of #1 Kodak hires people for critical non-management positions who are clearly not qualified, incompetence is pervasive. 3.) Everything from management policies to product code bases are a total mess. No one can clearly tell you what the process is for deploying software upgrades, what the QA process is for product lines, and management has no clue about the software development life-cycle or how to apply it to their product lines. 4.) It was very clear from the first day I started the job Kodak has every intention of outsourcing all of their development work to Israel and China they just haven't worked out how to do it yet for some divisions. If you are hired as a software developer for Kodak, you are only a stop gap until they outsource your job. I was fortunate enough to find other employment but I would have been better off not working there at all.

Pros

Remote work and good benefits

Cons

CEO and Sales management are in a complete fantasy land. Trajectory for the company is a second bankruptcy. Was assigned a territory and never assigned accounts within the territory to sustain quota as promised on interview. Left a job making $225k annually only to be involuntarily separated and did not even receive an exit interview.

Pros

Kind and healthy work environment. Helpful coworkers in a company with a rich history.

Cons

No opportunity for pay increases. Archaic systems lead to poor communication between team members. No enthusiasm to deviate from inefficient and failing systems that lost support 20 years ago. Effort and successes are unrewarded and unrecognized outside of the occasional 'great job' at a meeting.
