Pros

- High margins, great products that save people's lives - Fast growing market - Great location (although parking is a big issue)

Cons

- HR function is non-existing in the organization. Issues that should be solved by HR is continuously pushed to managers or remain as is ... - Working managers who do not know how to lead and develop people. There is no management training. Managers are not held accountable to train and build their teams -No work-life balance... perception matters more than actual productive work - There is 1/2 the workforce that works hard, and the other collects the paycheck - The executive leaders have so much ego; they do not want to be open and transparent with their people. They keep the distance from employees - Talent development and retention is a joke. The performance review activities are just "check the box" activity. Managers are so overworked that they do not have time for it. Employee engagement and morale is low. No opportunity to get promoted internally, they always find talent from outside - There is lack of investment in continuous improvements, almost every project is under-resourced and gets nowhere. There is lack of focus - Some poor acquisitions, poor integration, and execution of strategy

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
